S. 3546: Securing Active and Fair Enforcement Act
On 12/9/16, Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) introduced the Securing Active and Fair Enforcement Act, or SAFE Act, (S. 3546), which pairs the language of the BRIDGE Act (S. 3542) with harsh mandatory detention and rapid 90-day removal requirements for certain people.
While purporting to focus on those who are unlawfully present with serious criminal backgrounds, the SAFE Act mandates detention even for people accused of minor crimes and those completely exonerated of crimes.
