Bill 119 s 5, also known as the "Alien Theft Custody Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to address the issue of aliens who have been charged with theft in the United States. The bill specifically requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to take custody of these individuals, ensuring that they are detained while their cases are being processed.

By mandating that these individuals be held in custody, the bill seeks to uphold the rule of law and protect the safety and security of the American public.

In addition to addressing the issue of alien theft offenders, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these additional purposes are not provided in the summary. Overall, Bill 119 s 5 represents a targeted effort to address a specific issue within the realm of immigration and law enforcement. If passed, this legislation would have significant implications for how the United States handles cases involving aliens charged with theft.
