Bill > S72

This bill introduces several strict measures for non-detained immigrants in the United States. It requires all immigrants on ICE's (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) nondetained docket to be enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program, which mandates continuous GPS monitoring throughout their immigration proceedings and until removal from the country. The bill also imposes a mandatory curfew, requiring these individuals to remain at their approved home address between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Additionally, the legislation stipulates that immigrants can only be released through the Alternatives to Detention program after all detention beds are filled and immigration authorities have exhausted all efforts to hold them in detention. Critically, if an immigrant fails to comply with any condition of their release order, they will be automatically ordered removed (deported) in absentia based on an affidavit from an immigration officer. The bill includes a severability clause, meaning that if any part of the law is found unconstitutional, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. Titled the "Justice for Jocelyn Act," the bill appears to be motivated by a specific incident, though the details of that incident are not provided in the legislative text.
