What the document says

“(E)(i) is inadmissible under paragraph (6)(A), (6)(C), or (7) of section 212(a); and ``(ii) is charged with, is arrested for, is convicted of, admits having committed, or admits committing acts which constitute the essential elements of any burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, or assault of a law enforcement officer offense, or any crime that results in death or serious bodily injury to another person,''”

To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

Section 2 amends section 236(c)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226(c)(1)) by inserting a new subparagraph (E) after subparagraph (D). The new subparagraph describes an alien who meets two conditions at once: inadmissible under paragraph (6)(A), (6)(C), or (7) of section 212(a), and charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admitting the essential elements of burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, or any crime that results in death or serious bodily injury.

What the document actually says

“(E)(i) is inadmissible under paragraph (6)(A), (6)(C), or (7) of section 212(a); and ``(ii) is charged with, is arrested for, is convicted of, admits having committed, or admits committing acts which constitute the essential elements of any burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, or assault of a law enforcement officer offense, or any crime that results in death or serious bodily injury to another person,''”

That sentence, in plain words

This adds a new group of people to a list in an older law. They are people who are not allowed in under three rules. They are also people charged with theft or a few other crimes.

What this is about

A charge is not the same as being found guilty. The new words count a charge, an arrest, a guilty verdict, or an admission. Both parts must be true for a person to fit.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
