Criminal Alien Accountability Act

H.R. 3150, the Criminal Alien Accountability Act, would establish mandatory minimum prison sentences for individuals who illegally re-enter the United States after being previously deported for criminal convictions. The bill also creates new criminal penalties for anyone who knowingly assists or conspires to help these specific individuals return to the country. By increasing the legal consequences for re-entry, the legislation aims to deter deported criminals from returning and holds those who aid them to the same sentencing standards as the offenders themselves.
