Bill would require detention for people without formal U.S. entry.
This bill would require mandatory detention for people in the U.S. who lack formal admission. This means they would not be eligible for release on bond or parole while their case is processed. It changes current rules that allow for discretion in such detention.
Today, people who are physically in the U.S. but not formally admitted are generally considered applicants for admission and subject to inspection. Their detention is not always required by law. This bill would make their detention mandatory, meaning they could not be released on bond or parole.
