Serious Concerns Arise After House Passes Bill Defining The Term ‘Crime Of Violence’

On September 7, the United States House of Representatives passed a bill (247 to 152) that would define the term “crime of violence.”

H.R.6691, otherwise known as the “Community Safety and Security Act of 2018,” was drafted in response to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that the term “crime of violence” as it pertains to immigration law was too vague.
