What this amendment would do

Mr. Coons submitted an amendment to the bill S. 5, which is about requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to take certain aliens into custody.

  • The amendment changes a section number on page 2.
  • It adds an exception to the requirement for taking certain aliens into custody.
  • This exception applies if detaining that alien would result in releasing another alien who is determined to be a more serious public safety threat or flight risk.
