Deport Alien Gang Members Act This bill makes non-U.S. nationals ( aliens under federal law) associated with criminal gangs inadmissible for entry into the United States and deportable. The bill also establishes procedures to designate groups as criminal gangs. An individual shall be inadmissible if certain officers or agencies know or have reason to believe that the individual is or was a criminal gang member or has participated or aided such a group's illegal activities. An individual who is or was a member of such a gang, has participated or aided such a group's illegal activities, or seeks to enter or has entered the United States in furtherance of such activity shall be deportable. Such individuals must be subject to mandatory detention. Furthermore, such individuals shall not be eligible for (1) asylum; (2) temporary protected status; (3) special immigrant juvenile visas; or (4) parole, unless they are assisting the government in a law enforcement matter. The bill defines a criminal gang as a group of five or more persons (1) where one of its primary purposes is committing specified criminal offenses and its members have engaged in a continuing series of such offenses within the past five years, or (2) that has been designated as a criminal gang by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The bill also establishes procedures for DHS to designate a group as a criminal gang, including notifying Congress, publishing a notice in the Federal Register, and providing an opportunity for the group to petition for review of the designation.

FAITH LETTER URGING PASSAGE OF H.R. 1144 (FD TVPRA): NAC was a signer and among the writers of a faith organization sign-on letter urging passage of the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act (H.R. 1144) that went to Congress The letter followed a 4/23/26 Press Conference, organized by members of the House and survivors, and built on its energy. House members and staff members of the House Committees of Jurisdiction were urged to quickly take up and pass H.R. 1144.Senate members were urged to hotline the bill once it comes to their chamber, mirroring the message at the Press Conference. NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER ON DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE: NAC assisted in the writing of legislation that calls for the establishment of a national resource center on domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in faith communities. NAC also endorsed the bill as the lead sponsors sought additional co-sponsors in the House. (H.R. 8813 (IH) - Supporting Survivors from Faith-based Communities Act). CRIME VICTIMS FUND STABILIZATION ACT (CVFSA): The sign-on urges the Senate to honor Crime Victims Rights Week by acting to swiftly pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (CVFSA), which the House passed by a unanimous voice vote in January. This critical, bipartisan legislation temporarily bolsters the Crime Victims Fund (CVF), which is the primary source of funding for victim services across the country, including services for victims of child abuse (including child sexual abuse), sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, human trafficking, stalking, elder abuse, drunk driving, community violence, and other crimes. It also funds victim witness specialists in prosecutors' offices and law enforcement agencies, ensuring victims receive guidance through the justice process, assistance preparing impact statements, and support as they testify. This assistance not only increases conviction rates, but most importantly helps victims find their voice and begin the healing process FREDERICK DOUGLASS TRAFFICKING VICTIMS PREVENTION AND PROTECTION REAUTHORIZATION ACT (H.R. 1144) NAC constituents were urged to call on their Representative to vote YES and pass the bipartisan Frederick Douglass TVPRA (H.R. 1144) in its current form- for prevention and for support. Lets act together to end this terrible crime and bring hope to survivors.

The sign-on is a petition to the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) movement to highlight the need for these grants. HILL VISIT: Meeting with Rep. Kevin Mullins office (CA) about Gracenter (also promoted H.R. 1144 FD TVPRA) OPPOSE DEPORT ALIEN GANG MEMBERS ACT (H.R. 175): The letter expresses opposition to this bill that would give the government extremely wide latitude to designate individuals as "criminal gang" members. As written, H.R. 175 risks criminalizing religious communities' work to welcome newcomers and imposing harsh punishment on anyone who provides shelter, transportation, or support to undocumented immigrant neighbors. HILL VISIT: Meeting with Rep. McBaths office to promote Good Shepherd Services Atlanta.
