Bill > HR64

This bill, known as "Grant's Law," requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to mandatorily detain certain undocumented immigrants (referred to as "aliens") who are unlawfully present in the United States and have been arrested for specific criminal offenses. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand mandatory detention requirements, specifically adding a new provision that requires detention for individuals who are determined to be unlawfully present and are arrested for offenses that could render them inadmissible or deportable. The legislation also introduces new provisions that mandate the Secretary of Homeland Security to continue detaining such individuals even if they are not ultimately convicted of the initial offense, and requires removal proceedings to be completed within 90 days of detention. This means that undocumented immigrants arrested for certain crimes will be held in custody and processed for potential deportation, regardless of the final outcome of their criminal case, with a strict timeline for initiating removal proceedings.
