This legislation requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to take certain inadmissible aliens into custody if they are charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admit to committing burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, or any crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security issue a detainer for these individuals and take them into custody if they are not already detained by other officials.
