This bill significantly alters who is subject to mandatory immigration detention and under what circumstances. If passed, it would expand mandatory detention to include individuals who are merely arrested for certain crimes, rather than requiring a conviction first. This could lead to more individuals being held in federal immigration custody, potentially for longer durations, even if they are ultimately found innocent of the criminal charges.

For voters concerned with public safety and stricter immigration enforcement, this bill would represent a stronger approach to detaining and removing non-citizens who have committed or are accused of certain crimes. For those concerned about civil liberties and due process, it raises questions about detaining individuals who have not been convicted of a crime, potentially affecting individuals' rights and the principle of presumed innocence. The 90-day deadline for removal proceedings could either expedite the immigration process or put pressure on the court system.
