Bail; pretrial hearing for illegal aliens charged with violent offenses, required; presumption of flight risk, established

Summary

The bill mandates that any illegal alien charged with a violent offense be held without bail until a court holds a pre‑trial detention hearing. At that hearing, the judge must consider several safety and flight‑risk factors and may deny bail, giving heavy weight to a statutory presumption that the defendant is an inherent flight risk. The measure aims to keep such defendants in custody pending trial.
