Detention Authority Clarification Act

This legislative proposal aims to strengthen immigration enforcement by amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand mandatory detention requirements. It specifically targets individuals who are physically present in the United States but have not yet been formally admitted, classifying them as applicants for admission . The bill mandates that all such applicants for admission must be detained, thereby removing discretion in these cases. This change would broaden the scope of aliens subject to mandatory detention under existing law.
