This week, the Senate may consider "Kate’s Law." The bill is named for Kate Steinle, the 32-year-old woman who tragically died on a San Francisco pier after being shot by an undocumented immigrant who had several felony convictions and had been deported from the United States five times.
On 10/21/2015, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced "Stop Illegal Reentry Act or Kate's Law".
This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to increase from two years to five years the maximum prison term for an alien who reenters after being denied admission, excluded, deported, or removed.
It also establishes a 10-year maximum prison term for an alien who reenters after being denied admission, excluded, deported, or removed on 3 or more prior occasions and a 5-year mandatory minimum prison term for an alien who reenters after being removed following a conviction for an aggravated felony or following 2 or more prior convictions for illegal reentry.
