独家首发福克斯新闻： 参议院共和党人正推动关闭一项存在数十年的移民漏洞，他们称拜登政府曾大肆滥用该漏洞。
这项由阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特牵头的法案，将阻止在其母国不接受遣返的情况下，将被拘留的非法移民放回美国。
布里特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，她提出的《维护我们社区安全法案》将收紧2001年确立的这项漏洞。当时最高法院裁定，如果没有国家接收被遣返的非法移民，他们可以在被拘留六个月后获释。

“最终，我们希望为这些人开辟返回其原籍国的途径，”布里特说。“但仅仅因为我们无法让某个国家配合，并不意味着这个人可以在美国境内自由活动。”
“他们应该继续被拘留，直到我们能够为他们找到返回本国的途径，”她补充道。“显然，拜登政府时期大肆利用了这一漏洞，我们现在要做的就是出台立法，一劳永逸地封堵它。”
二十多年前，这项最高法院裁决限制了联邦政府拘留非法移民的权力，并规定了非公民可被拘留的时限。
一旦六个月的期限届满且不太可能被遣返，政府有责任提交证据证明仍有可能并正在推进遣返程序。但如果无法做到这一点，被拘留者必须在监管下获释。
布里特的法案针对的是《移民和国籍法》中的两个条款。这部制定于20世纪50年代的法律数十年来一直是美国移民法的基础。法案将扩大国土安全部（DHS）拘留刑事外籍人士、拒绝为刑事外籍人士提供保释的权力，并总体上限制保释的适用，除非非法移民能够以明确且有说服力的证据证明自己不会潜逃，也不会对他人或社区构成威胁。
该法案还允许在多种情况下延长拘留期限，包括外籍人士对国家安全构成威胁、犯下严重重罪或暴力犯罪的情况。

该法案自2011年起就在国会传阅。布里特也曾在拜登政府任期内推动该法案获得通过。
目前已有11名参议院共和党人联名支持该法案，包括阿肯色州共和党参议员汤姆·科顿、阿拉巴马州共和党参议员汤米·图伯维尔、北达科他州共和党参议员凯文·克拉默、爱达荷州共和党参议员迈克·克拉波、德克萨斯州共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹、内布拉斯加州共和党参议员黛比·费舍尔、密西西比州共和党参议员辛迪·海德-史密斯、堪萨斯州共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔、爱达荷州共和党参议员吉姆·里施以及南达科他州共和党参议员迈克·朗兹。
“乔·拜登和卡玛拉·哈里斯允许数百万非法移民‘入侵’我们的国家——现在守法的美国民众正在为此付出代价，”图伯维尔在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道。“我们需要尽一切努力将这些罪犯全部驱逐出境。”

Loophole forcing release of detained illegal immigrants targeted by Senate GOP

Sen. Katie Britt’s bill would prevent criminal aliens from being freed when home countries reject their return

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., and a host of Senate Republicans are pushing legislation that would close a loophole that allows detained illegal immigrants to be released back into the U.S. if their home country won’t take them back.

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Republicans are pushing to close a decades-old immigration loophole they say was heavily abused by the Biden administration.
The effort, led by Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., would prevent detained illegal immigrants from being released back into the U.S. in the event that their home countries would not accept their return.
Britt told Fox News Digital that her bill, the Keeping Our Communities Safe Act, would cinch tight the loophole that was created in 2001 when the Supreme Court ruled that illegal immigrants could be released from detention after six months if no country accepted them for deportation.

“Ultimately, we want to create pathways for these people to go back to the country they came from,” Britt said. “But just because we can’t get a country to comply does not mean that that person should get to roam free in the United States of America.”
“They should be there in detention until we’re able to find them a pathway back to their country,” she continued. “So this loophole was obviously exploited a great deal in the Biden administration, and what we’re doing is making sure that we are putting forth legislation that closes it once and for all.”
Over two decades ago, the court ruling limited the federal government’s authority to detain illegal immigrants and instilled a time frame that a noncitizen could remain detained.
Once that six-month period has elapsed and there is no likelihood of removal, the government is tasked with presenting evidence that removal is still likely and on the table. But if they can’t, the detainee has to be released under supervision.
Britt’s bill targets two sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a 1950s-era law that has undergirded the nation’s immigration laws for decades, to expand the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) authority to detain criminal aliens, deny bonds to criminal aliens, and generally limit the availability of bonds unless an illegal immigrant can establish by clear and convincing evidence that they’re not a flight risk or a risk to another person or the community.
It would also allow for extensions of detention in a number of cases, including in cases where an alien is a threat to national security or has committed an aggravated felony or violent crime.

The bill has been circulating in Congress since 2011. Britt also tried to get it passed during the Biden administration.
The legislation has 11 Senate Republicans on board as co-sponsors, including Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Deb Fischer, R-Neb., Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., Roger Marshall, R-Kan., Jim Risch, R-Idaho, and Mike Rounds, R-S.D.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allowed millions of illegals to INVADE our country — and now law-abiding Americans are paying the price,” Tuberville said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “We need to do everything we can to deport every single one of these criminals.”
