AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 to clarify the standards for family detention. Specifically, it states that the detention of any alien child who is not an unaccompanied alien child shall be governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act, and there is no presumption that such a child should not be detained. The bill also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to maintain the care and custody of an alien who is charged only with a misdemeanor offense under the Immigration and Nationality Act and entered the United States with their child under 18 years of age, and to detain the alien with the child. Additionally, the bill preempts any state licensing requirements for immigration detention facilities used to detain children or families with children under 18 years of age.
