AI Generated Summary
This bill proposes increasing the penalties for certain felonies committed by individuals who reenter the U.S. unlawfully after being deported or removed, especially if they were removed due to criminal activity. Specifically, it sets a higher maximum sentence for these felonies—an additional five years than normally allowed. If the crime involves a victim who is a child under 18, the additional penalty increases to ten years on top of the standard maximum sentence for the crime committed.
