This bill makes driving under the influence a ground to keep a noncitizen out of the country and a ground to remove one already here. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act so that any noncitizen who has been convicted of, admits committing, or admits the essential elements of an offense for driving while intoxicated or impaired is inadmissible. For deportability, the trigger is narrower: a noncitizen who has been convicted of such an offense is deportable. The definition of the offense is borrowed from the law of the jurisdiction where it occurred, and it counts whether the conduct is classified as a misdemeanor or a felony under federal, state, tribal, or local law. It covers driving under the influence of or impaired by alcohol or drugs.
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 2 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 4 quarterly reports filed by 2 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2 and 2025 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.
The organizations named: National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL); Federation for American Immigration Reform. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
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.
