What this amendment would do

Ms. Hirono submitted the amendment to the bill S. 5, which requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft.

The purpose of the amendment is to add an exception to the bill's detention requirements.

It aims to change the bill by stating that specific detention rules (paragraphs (1)(E) and (3)) will not apply if detaining the alien would result in separating an individual under the age of 16 from their parent.
