Undocumented immigrants with any criminal conviction — including misdemeanors against vulnerable people — face fast-tracked deportation with no opportunity to apply for asylum or any other form of immigration relief. The bill's broad definitions of covered offenses and mandatory detention without bail mean a significant portion of undocumented people with criminal records could be rapidly removed, fundamentally changing the stakes of even minor criminal encounters.
