Summary

This bill restricts the use of the Alternatives to Detention program, requires GPS monitoring and a curfew for certain aliens, and mandates removal for those who fail to comply with release conditions. It also includes a severability clause.

Sec. 2, Limitation on participation in Alternatives to Detention: No alien may be released under the Alternatives to Detention program unless all available detention beds are filled, there is no other option to hold the alien in detention, and the Secretary has exhausted all reasonable efforts to detain the alien.

Sec. 3, GPS tracking and curfew requirements for certain aliens: Every alien on Immigration and Customs Enforcement's nondetained docket must be enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program, be continuously monitored by GPS during all immigration proceedings and until removal if ordered removed, and must stay at their program-compliant home address from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Sec. 4, Removal of aliens who fail to comply with release order: This section amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require that if an immigration officer submits an affidavit stating an alien failed to comply with a release condition, the alien shall be ordered removed in absentia.

Sec. 5, Severability: If any part of this Act is found unconstitutional by a federal court, the rest of the Act and its application to other persons or circumstances remain in effect.
