The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "Stop Illegal Reentry Act," is to strengthen penalties for individuals who illegally reenter the United States after being removed. The goal is to deter unauthorized reentry and enhance enforcement of immigration laws. Key provisions of the Act include increased penalties for individuals who have been denied admission, deported, or removed from the U.S. and later attempt to reenter. Under the new rules, these individuals could face fines and imprisonment for up to five years for general reentry.
