Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Undocumented immigrants with past or future DUI convictions involving death or serious injury would face mandatory deportation and a permanent bar on reentry. The aggravated felony label eliminates most avenues for legal relief in immigration court. Because the law applies retroactively to past convictions, people who have been living in the U.S. for years after serving their sentence could face new removal proceedings.
“to actions taken on or after the date of the enactment of this Act, regardless of when the relevant criminal conviction occurred”
