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

Representative Young Kim introduced the Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving Act to the House of Representatives. This bill, H.R. 8302, would make drunk driving an aggravated felony if it causes death or serious injury. Non-citizens convicted of these crimes would face mandatory deportation and would be banned from getting green cards. This bill matches a Senate version, S. 3584, which was introduced by Senator John Cornyn in January. These new bills follow earlier House action. In 2025, the House passed H.R. 875, which would make any single DUI conviction a reason to deport a non-citizen or stop them from entering the country. The current proposals focus specifically on cases where people are killed or seriously hurt by drunk drivers.
