What the document says

“Aliens may be detained at family residential centers, as described in subsection (a), pending a decision, under the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), on whether the aliens are to be removed from the United States and, if such aliens are ordered removed from the United States, until such aliens are removed.”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 90003

The section provides that aliens may be held at family residential centers while a decision on removal is pending under the Immigration and Nationality Act and, where removal is ordered, until they are removed. Detention standards for the single adult capacity are set at the discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security, consistent with applicable law.

What the document actually says

“Aliens may be detained at family residential centers, as described in subsection (a), pending a decision, under the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), on whether the aliens are to be removed from the United States and, if such aliens are ordered removed from the United States, until such aliens are removed.”

That sentence, in plain words

People may be held at a family center. That lasts while a removal case is decided. If removal is ordered it lasts until they go.

What this is about

There is no fixed time limit set here. Standards for adult detention are the Secretary's call. They must still fit the law.

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.
