Bill Summary: HR 30 - Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act
The Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act (HR 30) aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding the prosecution of violent crimes against women committed by individuals unlawfully residing in the United States. The bill seeks to address concerns regarding the intersection of immigration status and domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of violence against women.
Key Provisions:
- Increased Penalties: The bill proposes to impose stricter penalties for violent crimes against women committed by illegal aliens, including mandatory minimum sentences and enhanced sentencing guidelines.
- Cooperation with Immigration Authorities: It mandates that law enforcement agencies cooperate with federal immigration authorities in the investigation and prosecution of crimes against women, ensuring that offenders are reported for potential deportation.
- Victim Support Services: The bill allocates funding for victim support services specifically targeting women affected by violence perpetrated by illegal aliens, including counseling, legal assistance, and shelter services.
Funding and Authorities: HR 30 does not specify a dedicated funding source but suggests the use of existing federal and state resources to support the implementation of its provisions. It also emphasizes the role of the Department of Justice and local law enforcement in executing the bill’s mandates.
Affected Programs/Agencies: The bill primarily impacts law enforcement agencies, the Department of Justice, and organizations providing support services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Beneficiaries and Regulation: The primary beneficiaries of this legislation are women who are victims of violence, particularly those who may be affected by crimes committed by illegal aliens. The bill also regulates the actions of law enforcement and immigration authorities in handling such cases.
Key Timelines: Following its introduction, HR 30 has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration. The timeline for further action remains contingent on committee review and subsequent legislative processes.
