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. 3

Subsection (d)(1) of section 3 amends section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5)) by striking the term 'Attorney General' wherever it appears in that paragraph and inserting 'Secretary of Homeland Security'. What that paragraph otherwise says is not recorded here, because that statute is not indexed on this site.

What the document actually says

“(1) by striking ``Attorney General'' each place such term appears and inserting ``Secretary of Homeland Security''; and”

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. 3
That sentence, in plain words

One job title in an older law is swapped out. The Attorney General goes out. The head of Homeland Security goes in.

What this is about

The swap happens at each spot where the old title shows up. This site does not track what that older rule says.

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.
