Bill > S84

This bill, known as "Sarah's Law," requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to mandatorily detain certain undocumented immigrants or visa holders who have been charged with a crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury. Specifically, the bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require detention for aliens who were either not legally admitted to the United States, had their nonimmigrant visa revoked, or meet certain other immigration status criteria, and have been charged with a crime causing death or serious bodily injury. The bill also introduces a new notification requirement compelling ICE to make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the victims of such crimes and provide ongoing updates to the victims, their parents, guardians, spouses, or closest living relatives. These updates would include details such as the alien's full name, aliases, date of birth, nationality, immigration status, criminal history, custody status, and information about potential removal efforts. The bill includes a savings provision ensuring that these new requirements do not limit existing crime victims' rights under other laws. The goal appears to be increasing transparency and detention of immigrants charged with serious violent crimes.
