AI Summary

This bill, titled "Sarah's Law," would require 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that ICE must detain aliens who were not inspected and admitted into the U.S., held a nonimmigrant visa that has been revoked, or are described as being unlawfully present, and have been charged with a crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The bill also includes a notification requirement for ICE to provide information about the alien, their status, and custody to the victim or their family members. Additionally, the bill includes a savings provision to ensure the bill does not limit the rights of crime victims under any other law.
