ICE's recent Operation New Dawn has resulted in almost 1,100 arrests
of gang members. Had this bill been enacted prior, that number could
have increased. This bill is only starting the removal process,
however. Make no mistake, regular immigration proceedings will still apply. The government must prove its case and provide evidence to convince an
immigration judge. This bill preserves all due process and appellate
rights afforded to any alien facing deportation. The time for this bill is long overdue. It was introduced to target
criminal gangs, as that term is commonly understood, and that is what
it will do once it is enacted.
