Why This Matters

This bill aims to protect immigrants who are considered to have good moral character by limiting their detention. It ensures that their unlawful presence cannot be the only reason for detention and keeps their names private during proceedings.

If you are an immigrant with a clean record, you could face fewer risks of detention during your immigration process.
