Increases Federal mandatory minimum sentences for using or carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence or drug trafficking crime, employing minors in drug trafficking, and selling illegal drugs to minors.

Limits judicial review of such determinations. Provides for deportation of permanent resident aliens under specified circumstances.
