## Summary

**Treats DUI/DWI convictions and admissions as grounds for immigration removal and denial.** This bill would add new rules saying a noncitizen convicted of, or admitting to, acts that meet a jurisdiction's DUI or DWI definition can be denied admission to the United States or made deportable. - People seeking entry to the U.S.: A conviction or an admission that fits a jurisdiction's DUI/DWI law can make a noncitizen inadmissible and bar visas or admission. - Noncitizens already in the U.S.: A DUI/DWI conviction can be charged as a deportable offense and lead to removal proceedings regardless of whether local law called it a misdemeanor or a felony. - How officials judge offenses: Immigration authorities would apply the law of the place where the offense occurred, including state, tribal, and local rules, and rely on convictions or admissions of the offense's essential elements.
