AI Summary

This bill, known as "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 key provisions of the bill amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the categories of aliens subject to mandatory detention, including those who were not inspected and admitted into the U.S., held a revoked nonimmigrant visa, or are described as overstaying their authorized period of admission. The bill also includes a notification requirement for ICE to provide information to victims or their families about the alien's identity, immigration status, criminal history, custody status, and any removal efforts by the U.S. government.
