Why This Matters

The Flight Risk Reduction Act makes it easier to detain non-citizens accused of crimes by assuming they may flee before their trial. This is important for ensuring that those who might pose a risk to the community are kept in custody.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and are charged with a crime, you may be detained until your trial.
