Death penalty for undocumented murderers that are possible in all 50 states as part of the proposed Texas GOP Act

Houston – – A new action is aimed at the fact that the Federal Government pursues the death penalty in all 50 states, even if it is prohibited, for undocumented murderers.

The legislators in Texas are urging the death penalty nationwide

The Republican legislators in the House of Representatives and the Senate have introduced laws that would enable the Federal Government to apply for the death penalty for undocumented immigrants who were convicted of murder American citizens and codified an executive regulation signed by President Donald Trump in January.

The two bills –Justice for victims of illegal alien murden act in the house and Justice for American victims of the illegal alien Act In the Senate – Expansion of the federal government's jurisdiction in murder cases in which suspects are involved without papers and commissioned the death option as a conviction option.

What you say:

“Violent predators who illegally enter our country and brutally murder American citizens should be subject to the death penalty in his release as a result of its hideous actions”, who presented the Senate version together with more than a dozen GOP colleagues. “This legislation would protect the American people, make our country safe and make sure that no future president can reverse this consequence for innocent life alone.”

MP Morgan Luttrell (R-Texas), the sponsor of the House Bill, said his legislation concludes a “dangerous gap” in the applicable law, which restricts the pursuit of the murder of federal murder to certain circumstances, such as:

“This legislation gives us the authority to provide justice if the local prosecutors simply do not have the tools, workers or funds to take over a top -class death penalty,” said Luttrell in his release. If you are illegal in this country and murder an innocent American, you will be fully accounted for, no matter where the crime happens. “

Two bills, one vision

According to Lattrell's office, both invoices are expected to be combined. The suggestions come in response to a number of top -class murders, which were allegedly committed by immigrants without papers, including the murder of Jocelyn Nungary in Houston and the death of sheets of Riley in Georgia, which the Republicans often cited as emblematic by wider immigration errors.

The proposed laws would formalize Trumps “Restoration of the death penalty and protection of public security” Executive order that the Ministry of Justice proves to pursue the capital penalty for all federal crimes with immigrants without papers that were accused of murder or murdering law enforcement officers.

The Bills sponsors say that they intend to prevent future administrations from reversing the directive.

Federal jurisdiction with death penalty

The Executive Ordinance in the center of legislation was one of Trump's first acts after returning to office in 2025. A moratorium for the federal executions imposed by the previous administration returned and criticized its commuting of dozens of death figures in the past few weeks of his term.

“These efforts to undermine and undermine the death penalty of capital, defy the laws of our nation, mock the judiciary and insult the victims of these terrible crimes,” says the order.

What about states in which the death penalty is illegal?

The federal death penalty can be pursued in all 50 states, even in those who have abolished the capital penalty at the state level.

As a former public prosecutor of the southern district of Texas, Erin Ebley said: “If the Federal Government wants to proceed in a state in relation to the death penalty in which the death penalty at the state level would not be available, they can still do so. The Federal Government is not reluctant.”

She noticed that its use is rare: “I think there are about 50 people in the death cell at federal level and there have been 16 executions since 1976, so we don't use it often, she said.

Ebley added that the circumstances that are responsible for the Federal Government still apply, “but there is the opportunity to do so.
