Representative Young Kim Introduces Bill to Deport Non-Citizens for Serious Drunk Driving Crimes

13,524 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in the U.S. in 2022 — about 32% of all traffic fatalities that year

Under current federal law, a simple DUI — including one causing injury — generally does not automatically make a non-citizen deportable or inadmissible

H.R. 875, as passed by the House, would make any single DUI conviction — including a misdemeanor — a standalone ground for deportation or denial of entry for non-citizens

CBP recorded 1,010 criminal noncitizen encounters involving DUI offenses at the border in FY2024

A peer-reviewed study of all 50 states from 1990–2014 found that larger undocumented immigrant populations were statistically associated with lower — not higher — DUI arrest rates
