Using what standard? The bill, given the Goodlatte amendment, does not say. A person need not have been convicted or even charged with a crime to
be deportable under this bill; and even when they are in removal
proceedings, they would not be permitted to challenge the gang
designation that landed them in those proceedings. Thus, we will have
people deported on the basis of an unfair and secret process, with no
notice and no meaningful opportunity to contest the basis for the
deportation. That turns due process completely on its head. Keeping out members of MS-13 and other deadly gangs is a worthy goal,
but this bill would not do that.
