Purpose and Summary

Chamber: Senate

Introduced date: 2025-01-14

Bill 119 s 84, also known as the "Criminal Alien Detention Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain certain aliens who have been charged in the United States with a crime that resulted in the death or serious bodily injury of another person. The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to immigration enforcement. If passed, this bill would mandate that ICE take custody of individuals who are in the country illegally and have been charged with a serious crime that has caused harm to another person. This would ensure that these individuals are not released back into the community while awaiting trial or deportation proceedings. The purpose of this bill is to enhance public safety by preventing potentially dangerous individuals from being released back into society, especially those who have already demonstrated a propensity for violence through their criminal actions. By requiring ICE to detain these individuals, the bill seeks to prioritize the safety and well-being of the American public. Overall, Bill 119 s 84 addresses the issue of immigration enforcement in cases where serious crimes have been committed, with the goal of ensuring that individuals who pose a threat to public safety are appropriately detained and dealt with according to the law.
