Amends 8 U.S.C. 1228 (section 238 of the INA) by replacing multiple references to "aggravated felony" and related predicate-offense formulations with the broader phrasing "a felony or 2 misdemeanors," by striking and replacing the text of subsection (b) paragraphs (1) and (2) (including inserting a new (b)(1) authorizing the Attorney General to determine deportability of aliens convicted of a felony or 2 misdemeanors and issue removal orders pursuant to these procedures or section 240), by moving and redesignating several paragraph numbers, and by redesignating the second subsection (c) as subsection (d).

Adds a new subsection (a)(4) directing the Attorney General to prioritize criminal removal cases on immigration court dockets and to issue regulations to ensure appeals in such cases are resolved within 120 days of filing.
