One includes a remedy to a problem created by a Supreme Court decision in 2001. the Zadvydas case. which held that dangerous criminal aliens must be released after an expiration of 6 months If there is no likelihood that their home country would take them back in the near future. even if their home country will not take them. This means that they have to be released into the general population of the United States. free to recommit serious crimes. In other words. what the Supreme Court said is that Congress had not specifically authorized the Department of Homeland Security to hold dangerous criminal aliens whose home country will not take them back for longer than 6 months pending their deportation or repatriation to their home country. This amendment remedies that decision. In fact. the Supreme Court invited the Congress to revisit this decision. since it is purely a statutory holding.
