Sen. Moody’s Bold Move: Bill to Fast-Track Deportation of Criminal Illegal Immigrants

Florida Senator Ashley Moody is taking a bold stand on immigration with her new legislation, The Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act, set to be introduced Wednesday. This measure aims to fast-track the deportation of illegal immigrants involved in gangs, foreign terrorist organizations, or convicted of felonies and specific misdemeanors like assaulting police, sexual offenses, or crimes against children.

Co-sponsored by Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt, the bill addresses what Moody calls a 'common-sense' fix to a broken system. She argues that the past four years have seen a systematic erosion of America’s immigration and security framework, leaving communities vulnerable to dangerous criminals. The legislation targets individuals like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member deported to El Salvador earlier this year, who faced accusations of human trafficking and domestic violence.

Moody’s team emphasizes the bill’s alignment with President Trump’s immigration priorities, accusing Democrats and activist judges of obstructing efforts to remove violent offenders. The legislation seeks to prevent such interference, ensuring swift action against those posing threats to public safety.

This move comes amid heated debates over cases like Abrego Garcia’s, with some Democrats claiming his deportation was unjust. Yet, court records and Homeland Security reports paint a starkly different picture, highlighting his violent history and gang affiliations. Moody’s bill signals a no-nonsense approach to restoring order and prioritizing American safety.
