Detention shall be mandatory for anyone found inadmissible or deportable for criminal street gang membership.

Individuals found inadmissible or deportable for criminal gang membership shall be barred from:

  • asylum;
  • withholding of removal;
  • temporary protected status;
  • special immigrant juvenile status;
  • deferred action; and
  • parole, unless assisting the United States in a law enforcement matter and required by the government to be present with respect to such assistance.

An alien found at a U.S. land border or port of entry who is determined to be inadmissible and a threat to public safety (certain criminals, terrorists, street gang members) shall be subject to expedited removal.
