The Secretary of Homeland Security may detain alien parents who are— shown through an individualized determination to pose a danger to the community which cannot be mitigated by other conditions of release; and inadmissible under section 212(a)(3).
The Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish alternatives to detention programs for family units who are prohibited from being detained pursuant to paragraph (1). Alternatives to detention programs may not be used if release on bond or recognizance is determined to be a sufficient measure to ensure appearances at immigration proceedings and public safety. .
