Defines “criminal gang” and lets the Department of Homeland Security, with the Attorney General, officially designate groups as criminal gangs. Noncitizens who are members of or who participate in those gangs can be denied entry to the United States, detained, and removed.
Blocks most immigration benefits for people described as gang‑associated, including asylum, parole, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and special immigrant juvenile (SIJ) relief. Requires annual reporting on related detentions. Changes take effect on the date of enactment.
