Who this affects: This bill mainly affects non-citizens with records tied to sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, or certain protection-order violations. It also affects immigration officers and judges because they would apply these new rules in entry and removal cases. Victims and possible victims of these crimes may also be affected because the bill changes which offenders can enter or stay in the country.

Why this matters: This bill could change real cases by adding more crime-based reasons to deny entry or order deportation. It focuses on serious harm, including sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, and child abuse. It may make immigration rules more uniform because it uses federal definitions. But the bill text alone does not show how many people would be affected or how much public safety would change.

Key provisions in H.R. 30

• Some non-citizens could be denied entry for sex offenses. This applies if they were convicted or if they admit to acts covered by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act.
• Some non-citizens could be denied entry for domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, or certain protection-order violations. A protection order is a court order meant to protect someone from harm.
• The bill uses definitions already in federal law. It uses the Adam Walsh Act for sex offenses and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act for domestic violence crimes.
• Domestic violence crimes can count even if the place where they happened does not get certain federal grant money. That rule matters for immigration cases.
• Some non-citizens could be deported for a qualifying sex offense. A conviction for conspiring to commit that offense would also count.
