## Summary

**Makes noncitizens who incite or join assaults during civil unrest removable and permanently barred from reentry.** The bill would create a new deportation ground for people who incite violence or physically take part in assaults, riots, or willful destruction of public property during civil disturbances. - People who were unlawfully present, were DACA recipients, or were lawful permanent residents at the time of the offense would be deportable if convicted of or admitting to incitement or acts such as assault or battery against law enforcement, assault on members of the U.S. Armed Forces, or vandalism of government-owned property. - Anyone removed under this new ground would be permanently inadmissible and ineligible for relief like asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, withholding of removal, or deferred action. The bill also bars future DACA benefits for those removed under this rule. - The bill would require these rules to be applied without discretion during declared national, major disaster, or state and local emergencies, allow the Department of Homeland Security to use expedited removal for these offenses, and mandate detention while removal is pending.
