The purpose of this legislative proposal is to change the way courts handle the release or detention of defendants who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents while they await trial. The main objective is to establish a legal presumption that such defendants are a danger to the community and likely to flee, which would make it more difficult for them to be released before their trial. Key provisions of the proposal include a new rule that courts must assume a non-citizen defendant poses a risk to the community and is likely to not appear for their court date.
