S 3197 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Flight Risk Reduction Act

This bill changes federal rules for detaining defendants before trial. It creates a new rule that non-citizen defendants (including non-permanent residents) are presumed to be a flight risk unless they provide strong proof they won't flee or pose a danger to others. Family ties or employment in the U.S. cannot be used to challenge this presumption. The change applies only to non-citizens, not U.S. citizens.
