This bill expands federal immigration detention requirements by adding four new crimes to the list of offenses that automatically trigger the detention of non-citizens pending removal proceedings. Specifically, it amends immigration law to include trespassing, vandalism, arson, and burglary as crimes that make deportable aliens subject to mandatory detention without bail hearings. The legislation affects immigrants convicted of these property crimes, removing judicial discretion in bail decisions and requiring them to remain in custody while their immigration cases proceed. The bill includes no new funding provisions or implementation timeline, as it simply modifies existing detention authority already established in immigration law. It was introduced in April 2025 by Republican members and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
