WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Representatives Vern Buchanan (R-FL) and Darrell Issa (R-CA) in support of legislation to ensure illegal aliens convicted of sexual assault are deported and permanently banned from the United States.

On February 25th, an illegal alien in Charlotte County was arrested and jailed on sexual assault charges. The "Protecting Our Communities from Sexual Predators Act" seeks to combat the explosion of illegal alien crime across America through strengthened provisions that would require the detention, deportation, and permanent banning of all illegal aliens convicted of sexual assault.

“Just days ago, a member of our Southwest Florida community was sexually assaulted by an illegal alien. Americans throughout all corners of our nation are bearing the perilous consequences of Joe Biden’s open border crime wave,” said Congressman Donalds. “I stand with Rep. Buchanan to ensure that all illegal aliens who have been convicted of sexual assault are deemed immediately deportable. These shocking and completely avoidable crimes must come to an end.”

“Illegal aliens who sexually assault and rape American citizens have absolutely no place in our society,” said Congressman Buchanan. “Shockingly, illegal immigrants who commit sexual assault are not immediately eligible for deportation, which is why we need to pass this commonsense legislation to keep these dangerous and deranged predators out of our country and help protect our communities."

“Biden’s open borders have not only made a mockery of our laws, but also tragic victims of so many innocent Americans. In every region of this country, illegal migrant criminals – including sexually violent predators – have inflicted unimaginable suffering and it’s time to fight back,” said Congressman Issa. “The Protecting our Communities from Sexual Predators Act is a real solution that will detain, remove, and prevent future entry of illegal migrants who commit sexual crimes. I’m proud to join my colleagues Rep. Buchanan and Rep. Donalds in authoring this bill, working towards its passage, and ensuring our people are never victimized again.”


SUMMARY:
– Require the U.S. to detain any illegal alien who is charged or convicted of sexual assault.
– Ensures that any illegal alien convicted of sexual assault is immediately eligible for deportation and is required to appear in front of a judge for a deportation hearing.
– Permanently prohibit any illegal alien convicted of sexual assault from reentry into the country.
