§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment increases the number of crimes that require the government to keep certain non-citizens in jail while they wait for their immigration cases. It ensures that more types of criminal offenses trigger mandatory detention for people who entered the country without legal permission.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
2POINT 01
Expanded Detention List
It identifies more criminal behaviors that trigger automatic jail time rather than allowing for supervised release.
POINT 02
Reduced Agency Discretion
It limits the ability of federal immigration officers to decide on a case-by-case basis who stays in jail, making detention mandatory for the listed crimes.
