“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.”

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Each distinct thing the section does: appropriate the money, set how long families may be held and who sets adult standards, and define a family residential center.

Nothing in the section is left out. It has three subsections and each is recorded.

The section points to the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Homeland Security Act of 2002, neither of which is indexed here.
