That's the 'fix' you're talking about . . .

After a Feinstein amendment, language was added that "nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States."

The DPGA is a free-standing bill she's introducing.
