Sarah's Law
Introduced Jan 14, 2025 by Sen. Joni Ernst
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) who is unlawfully present in the United States and has been charged with a crime that resulted in the death or serious bodily injury of another person.
ICE must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the identity of any victims of the crimes for which the detained individual was charged or convicted. ICE shall provide the victim, or a relative or guardian of a deceased victim, with information about the detained individual, including name, date of birth, nationality, immigration status, criminal history, and a description of any related removal efforts.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
