## Summary

**This bill would create a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for people who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.** It would require those defendants to overcome the presumption by clear and convincing evidence and bar using family or employment ties in the United States to rebut it. - Non-citizen and non-LPR defendants: Pretrial release would become harder. Judges would start from a presumption of detention, so more people in this group could face detention pending trial. - Families and employers: Common arguments for release based on family connections or steady work would be off limits. That removes a frequent reason lawyers use to seek release. - Federal courts and prosecutors: The bill adds noncitizen status as an explicit trigger for detention hearings. Prosecutors would have a clearer path to ask for detention and judges would have a narrower set of rebuttal arguments.
