Stopping Illegal Reentry for Deportees

Description

This bill, known as "Kate's Law," increases penalties for those who illegally re-enter the U.S. after being deported. ACU supports protecting citizens from individuals who desire to break the law, supports increasing the penalties for those who continually do, and supported this bill. The Senate refused to invoke cloture, which would have allowed them to consider the bill, on July 6, 2016 by a vote of 55-42 (60 votes were required).
