Summary

Expands who must be held in mandatory immigration detention and requires ICE to notify and update victims or closest relatives when such noncitizens are encountered or charged. It adds certain non‑admitted or visa‑revoked aliens charged with crimes that cause death or serious bodily injury to the list of aliens subject to mandatory detention and directs ICE to collect victim contact information from law enforcement and provide timely, ongoing case and custody information to victims or next‑of‑kin. It also clarifies that the act does not reduce any other legal rights of crime victims.
