## Summary

**Expands inadmissibility and deportability for sex and violent offenses.** This bill would make convictions or admissions for sex crimes, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, and certain protection‑order violations explicit grounds to deny entry or remove noncitizens from the United States. - Noncitizens convicted of, or who admit to committing, sex offenses as defined by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act would be inadmissible and deportable. This includes conspiracies tied to those offenses. - People convicted of domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, or child abandonment would also be barred from admission and made deportable. Violating parts of a protection order that involve credible threats, repeated harassment, or bodily injury is covered too. - The bill aligns immigration rules with existing federal statutes. It uses the Adam Walsh Act definitions and treats domestic violence as deportable under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act regardless of whether a jurisdiction receives VCCLEA grant funding.
