What this amendment would do
This amendment would change the requirements for how the Secretary of Homeland Security handles certain individuals.
It adds a new category of people for whom the Secretary must issue a detainer, which is a request to hold an individual in custody.
This category includes individuals who are inadmissible under specific sections of the law and meet certain criminal criteria.
The criminal criteria include being charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admitting to acts involving burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, a crime of domestic violence, or any crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
The category also includes individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States and have voted in a Federal election.
The Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to effectively and expeditiously take custody of these individuals if they are not already being held by Federal, State, or local officials.
