Safeguarding American Property Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Downing, Troy [R-MT-2]
Introduced
Summary
Expands detention triggers for noncitizens convicted of property crimes. The Safeguarding American Property Act of 2025 would amend 8 U.S.C. 1226(c) to add trespassing, vandalism, and arson to the list of offenses that may subject a criminal alien to detention. It replaces the statute's phrase "and 'serious bodily injury'" with an explicit list of "serious bodily injury", "trespassing", "vandalism", and "arson". The changes are confined to Section 236(c) and do not create new funding or programs beyond expanding the set of detention triggers.
