What the document says
“is charged only with a misdemeanor offense under section 275(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1325(a)); and”
The section funds promoting family unity by keeping in care and custody, under applicable law and while the charge is pending, an alien charged only with a misdemeanor entry offense under section 275(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act who entered with their child under 18, and by detaining that alien with the child.
What the document actually says
“is charged only with a misdemeanor offense under section 275(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1325(a)); and”
That sentence, in plain words
The person is charged with one thing only. It is a low-level entry offense. An older law sets it out.
What this is about
They must have entered with their own child. The child must be under 18. They may then be held together.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
