Victims hurt by criminal migrants could see restitution under new Matt Gaetz measure
Fox News
Rep. Matt Gaetz introduces the ALIEN Act to let federal judges award damages to victims harmed by illegal immigrants, amending the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act.
"The Biden-Harris administration has let in millions of illegals and created a migrant crime epidemic," Gaetz said in a statement. "My legislation, the ALIEN Act, will give federal judges the ability to award restitution to Americans who are victims of harm to person or property from illegals. Americans deserve the possibility of compensation for the pain they endured." Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
