What it does

Expands mandatory detention and related enforcement triggers for noncitizens charged with or convicted of certain property and theft offenses, paired with state standing provisions.

Why it matters

It hard-codes detention mandates that reduce DHS discretion and invites state AG litigation strategy against federal immigration administration.

Progressive take

Named bills travel on tragedy. The receipts are the statutory detention triggers and standing clauses. Evaluate due-process impacts and crime-rate evidence separately from the branding.
