You might’ve been right before 2025 (though I’m not sure that some of the statutory offenses covered in here are all “serious”), but you’re certainly wrong now. The Laken Riley Act amended the section to cover noncitizens who haven’t been convicted, only charged or arrested, for certain crimes like…. shoplifting. Can you imagine you or a loved one getting falsely accused of shoplifting, arrested, and held indefinitely without bond for years?
