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 existing immigration laws, and there is no presumption that such a child should not be detained. The bill also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to maintain custody of an alien charged only with a misdemeanor offense for illegal entry if they entered with their child, and it preempts state licensing requirements for immigration detention facilities that hold children and their parents or legal guardians. Additionally, the bill authorizes $50 million in appropriations for family detention facilities.
