This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to detain any non-citizen who is arrested for a serious crime while being present in the US illegally. If the person is not convicted, they will be kept in detention until removal proceedings are completed. The goal is to ensure that those who break immigration laws are held accountable.
This law affects the treatment of undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes, potentially impacting their chances of deportation and the overall fairness of the US immigration system.
