Sarah's Law mandates detention of certain aliens charged with crimes resulting in death or serious injury.
Sarah's Law amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain aliens charged with crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement must notify victims or their relatives about the alien's identity, immigration status, custody status, and removal efforts. The law ensures these provisions do not limit crime victims' rights under other laws.
