H.R. 7334 would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain any alien (non-U.S. national) who is present in the United States without being lawfully admitted and has been charged with or convicted of robbery.
CBO estimates that enacting the bill could increase the number of aliens in government custody, which would reduce their receipt of federal benefits. Any change in that number would depend on many factors, including the availability of detention space, coordination with state and local governments, and decisions made by the executive branch. CBO estimates that any resulting decreases in direct spending resulting from a reduction in the receipt of federal benefits would be insignificant.
