The recent murders of Laken Riley in Georgia and a two-year old in Maryland by illegal immigrants with previous criminal arrests were tragically avoidable, as was the abuse of young boys in Tennessee by an illegal immigrant with a prior record. This week, I introduced the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act to ensure that state and local law enforcement have the authority to enforce federal immigration law and help deport criminal illegal immigrants, because the Biden administration refuses to do so.
Under federal law, those convicted of certain crimes are required to pay restitution to their victims – helping cover necessary expenses such as medical care. However, family members, legal guardians, and those acting on behalf of victims during court proceedings do not receive any restitution from perpetrators. My bipartisan Victims' Voices Outside and Inside the Courtroom Effectiveness (Victims' VOICES) Act passed the Senate ensuring, family members receive restitution from convicted defendants.
President Biden's open border policies have incentivized lawlessness and turned every state into a border state. I introduced legislation with Senator Hagerty to prevent illegal immigrants who have committed a DUI from entering the U.S. and to automatically deport illegal immigrants who commit a DUI within the United States.
