Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Amends the criminal illegal-reentry statute to broaden who is covered, add new definitions, and substantially increase criminal penalties for certain noncitizens who were previously removed or excluded and then reenter or are found in the United States. The amendment creates higher sentencing tiers (including mandatory minimums in some cases), raises the top prison term to up to 10 years for specified prior-conviction or removal situations, and updates cross-references and agency-directed language to reflect the new categories and penalties.
