Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make certain aliens inadmissible and deportable based on sex offenses and other violent crimes. An alien who has been convicted of, admits having committed, or admits committing the essential elements of a sex offense, as that term is defined in the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, or a conspiracy to commit one, is inadmissible. The same inadmissibility applies to a crime of domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, or violating the portion of a protection order that guards against credible threats of violence, repeated harassment, or bodily injury. On the deportability side, the bill makes an alien convicted of such a sex offense deportable, and it broadens the existing crime-of-domestic-violence ground to include any crime meeting the domestic-violence definition in the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, regardless of whether the jurisdiction receives grant funding under that Act.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 7 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 26 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 6 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Federation for American Immigration Reform; National Council of Jewish Women; Conference of Provincials of North America; Heritage Action for America; Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 2 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
