Summary of Bill HR 578
The main focus of the bill is to ensure that individuals who have committed serious crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury are not released back into the community while awaiting their immigration proceedings. This is intended to protect public safety and prevent further harm to individuals in the United States.
The bill does not specify which crimes would qualify for mandatory detention by ICE, but it is likely to include offenses such as murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault, and other violent crimes. It is important to note that the bill does not apply to all immigrants charged with crimes, but only those who have been charged with specific offenses resulting in death or serious bodily injury. Overall, Bill 119 HR 578 seeks to strengthen immigration enforcement measures by ensuring that individuals who pose a threat to public safety are detained during their immigration proceedings. The bill is currently under consideration in Congress and may undergo revisions before being voted on.

I don't agree with this. It's not fair. It affects us all.
