AI Summary
This bill, called Sarah's Law, requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to take into custody certain aliens who have been charged in the United States with a crime that resulted in the death or serious bodily injury of another person. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to specify that ICE must detain aliens who were not inspected and admitted into the U.S., held a nonimmigrant visa that has been revoked, or are described as being unlawfully present, and have been charged with a crime resulting in death or serious injury. The bill also requires ICE to make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the victims and provide that information to the victims or their families on an ongoing basis.
