The Stop Illegal Entry Act of 2025 significantly increases penalties for non-citizens who enter the U.S. illegally and subsequently commit crimes, imposing mandatory minimum sentences. This legislation also raises the maximum penalty for initial illegal entry and establishes much harsher prison terms for individuals who reenter the country after being previously removed or deported. These enhanced penalties include mandatory minimums of 10 years for repeat offenders or those with prior serious criminal convictions.
This bill authorizes defense spending for Fiscal Year 2026, streamlines military procurement and acquisition processes, addresses personnel policies across all services, and funds various national security and infrastructure programs, including those related to the Department of Energy and the Coast Guard.
