Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand mandatory detention under section 236(c) to cover inadmissible aliens charged with, arrested for, or convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers (with specific circumstances and definitions), and requires DHS to issue detainers and take custody, which expands immigration enforcement via greater detention, transport, and state-federal cooperation. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
