After 6 months. absent certain circumstances. the Supreme Court says they generally have to be released. Its possible that if an alien files a habeas petition that the government will have to go to court and have hearing with a judge. This is driving up costs. using incredible amounts of hours. We shouldnt tolerate it one minute. There is no reason that this government shouldnt actwhich the law will now allow and directly says they should doto refuse to issue visas to a country that wont take back their criminals. They refuse to do it. There is additional legislation that would force that. and we could have done it in this bill.
