In 2015 the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Establishing Mandatory Minimums for Illegal Reentry Act of 2015 (Kate’s Law.) The law was introduced after San Francisco 32 year old San Francisco resident Kathryn Steinle was shot and killed by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez on July 1, 2015.

Yes, if they are non citizens
@9CQ5PVFBiju Janata Dal9mos9MO
Only if they’re safe in their country. Otherwise they should get a fair trial in the country they migrated to.
@8ZGGNXJIndependent2yrs2Y
They should be jailed like any other citizen
@8YHD3QFBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
should be punished before deporting
@8Y87BK3Independent2yrs2Y
They shouldn't be deported but arrested in our country and prosecuted
@8XCKJ8T2yrs2Y
Unless their crimes are a threat to national security, no. They should be treated like normal criminals.
@8W6GRH7Independent3yrs3Y
No, but they should be prosecuted like citizens
@8VXS43LIndependent3yrs3Y
No. Immigrants should be prosecuted under Indian law.
@8VWC87LBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Absolutely. Also when they enter our country illegally.
@8S59GC73yrs3Y
Only if there is any chance that they could a threat to the country or if the immigrants have entered illegally
No, as incarceration would lead to increased poverty thus causing a higher crime rate
@8QM3R533yrs3Y
No, the reason they are committing crimes in first place is mostly due to poverty so immigrants should be provided with aid so that they can support themselves. Also many people who get deported have kids and their kids grow up in government facilities and tend to be poor and are prone to commit crimes again
@8Q29ZJB3yrs3Y
No, rather give a punishment in the country itself.
if they entered legally, then prosecution should take place according to the country's law
@8PX25C83yrs3Y
If they entered country legally, then they have to only finish their sentence. But if they entered illegally, then they should be deported after they have finished serving their sentence.
No, but they should be transferred to the home country jail

@7J7L92W2yrs2Y
No, try them as an American citizen
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Legal immigrants should be treated as Americans; illegal immigrants should pay for the costs of their sentence or receive the death penalty.
@92T53D92yrs2Y
Yes, but only if they are an ileagal immigrant
@92NVQ272yrs2Y
Yes, for if immigrants don't have a residence here and no if they're resident here.
@925MFDV2yrs2Y
if its a serious crime they should be killed
@8ZLZHD92yrs2Y
Yes, but only in the cases of violent crimes or drug-related charges that result in hospitalization and/or death. The dangers in deporting someone to a country they have not been to in years is significant, especially if it is an actively hostile environment, but the danger they pose to other individuals is equally, if not more so, apparent.
@8Z5KYVX2yrs2Y
No, they should be held in the United States for trial
@8Z4BSGL2yrs2Y
No, they should be treated as a normal citizen and accept those consequences
@77JF5QJ2yrs2Y
Yes, and if the crime is serious enough they should receive the death penalty
@8PWXW4S2yrs2Y
Yes, only if it is murder that's not in self defense or another violent crime
@8YW4MHH2yrs2Y
No, only if they are not legal citizens.
@6HM8ZBP2yrs2Y
Yes, only if they're not a citizen AND they have committed treason, murder, rape, or any form of crime that endangers society.
@8PWXW4S2yrs2Y
Yes, only if it is murder not in self defense or another violent crime
@8XTW3QC2yrs2Y
Yes, after a trial to determine their guilt or innocence and if guilty is transferred to the prison system in their home country.
@8XPV4DF2yrs2Y
No, keep them in prison in the U.S. if they are dangerous
@8XQ89TN2yrs2Y
No, but it depends on the crime
@8XMFN982yrs2Y
Only for those found guilty of terrorist charges
@DengekiMatsuko2yrs2Y
No, but they should be deported if they commit a violent crime.
@SassOfficial2yrs2Y
Yes, but only after full due process equivalent to what a citizen is entitled to
@8X3ZWX42yrs2Y
Yes, unless they have obtained US citizenship
@8X3KQBN2yrs2Y
Only if it's a really severe crime such as murder and only if they haven't gotten registered as a citizen, if they are registered as a citizen, they should receive the same treatment as people born here for the same crimes.
@8WPW8WW2yrs2Y
If they are undocumented, yes. If they are an immigrant with citizenship, then no.
@8WP38Z43yrs3Y
Yes, but if it is as serious as murder
@8WNRNBZ3yrs3Y
No, that would just increase crime and cause problems in their home country.
