Bill Summary
A BILL To amend section 236(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act with respect to the detention of aliens who commit certain property crimes.
AI Summary
This bill amends section 236(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand mandatory detention requirements for certain non-citizens who commit property-related crimes. Specifically, the bill adds trespassing, vandalism, and arson to the list of offenses that trigger mandatory detention for criminal aliens. Under current law, certain criminal offenses require automatic detention of non-citizens, and this bill broadens that list to include additional property crimes. By adding these specific property crimes to the mandatory detention provisions, the legislation aims to enhance immigration enforcement and public safety by ensuring that non-citizens who commit these types of offenses are detained pending potential removal proceedings. The bill does not change the fundamental detention mechanism but expands the types of property-related criminal actions that would automatically require an individual to be held in custody by immigration authorities.
