    How should immigration courts balance deportation enforcement under this bill with family separation concerns for legal residents with U.S. citizen relatives?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that current law's deportation grounds for these crimes are insufficient, and what gaps would this bill actually close?

  3. 03
