The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Flight Risk Reduction Act, is to change how courts determine whether to release or detain defendants who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents while they await trial. The goal is to establish a presumption that these defendants pose a danger to the community and are likely to flee, making it more likely that they will be detained rather than released. Key provisions of the Act include a new legal presumption that non-citizen defendants are a flight risk and a danger to the community.
