What the document says“(D) Covered unlawful alien defined.--In this paragraph, the term ``covered unlawful alien'' means an adult alien who”
The definition that carries paragraph (9). A covered unlawful alien is an adult alien who meets any one of five listed grounds: is described in section 236(c)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226(c)(1)); is inadmissible under section 212(a)(2) of that Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(2)); is deportable under section 237(a)(2) of that Act (8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)); following an arrest, charge, booking or conviction for a criminal offense under Federal, State or local law, other than a minor traffic offense, is the subject of an immigration detainer, notice request or custody-transfer request issued by the Department of Homeland Security under section 236, 241(a) or 287 of that Act; or has been charged with or convicted of an offense described in section 275 or 276 of that Act (8 U.S.C. 1325 or 1326). None of those sections is indexed here, so nothing recorded says whom they describe.
What the document actually says“(D) Covered unlawful alien defined.--In this paragraph, the term ``covered unlawful alien'' means an adult alien who”
Here is what the term means in this part. The person must be an adult. Five grounds follow, and one of them is enough.
All five grounds point into an older law. That law is not covered on this site. One ground is about a person held on a request from the department. That request follows an arrest or a charge. A small traffic matter does not count.
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.
