## Summary

**Presumes non‑U.S. citizens and non‑lawful permanent residents are serious flight risks and dangers**, shifting the burden to those defendants to overcome that presumption. It would require clear and convincing evidence to rebut the presumption and bar using family or employment ties as grounds to rebut it. - Non‑U.S. citizen and non‑lawful permanent resident defendants: Would face a statutory presumption that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure their appearance and the safety of others, subject to rebuttal only by clear and convincing evidence. - Federal judges and the pretrial process: Would add immigration status as a specific ground in 18 U.S.C. 3142 and reorganize the detention hearing framework to incorporate that new ground, while disallowing family or job ties to defeat the presumption.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Easier pretrial detention for noncitizens: cost, high. This bill would change who federal judges can hold before trial.
