No Asylum for Criminals Act of 2025

This bill would prevent people who have been convicted of any felony or misdemeanor crime from receiving asylum in the United States. There are limited exceptions where the Department of Homeland Security could decide that certain political crimes committed outside the U.S. should not count. Currently, only people convicted of very serious crimes like aggravated felonies or other particularly serious crimes that make them dangerous are barred from getting asylum.
