Bill overview
This bill, known as Grant’s Law, changes how the Department of Homeland Security handles non-U.S. citizens arrested for crimes that could lead to deportation or barring from entering the country. It requires the Department of Justice to detain these individuals until removal proceedings are finished, with a strict 90-day deadline for completing those proceedings. The bill also clarifies that Homeland Security must resume custody of the individual if they are released to another authority for legal proceedings. Essentially, it aims to expedite the removal process for certain non-citizens facing criminal charges.
