440: Detention of person liable for turnaround

You could also call this:

“Rules for detaining people who may be sent back at the border”

If you become subject to section 115 after section 404 starts, then section 117 applies to you. These sections are all part of the law about immigration. Section 117 is about detaining people who might be turned around at the border. It only affects you if section 115 first applies to you after section 404 has begun. This means the rules about detention for turnaround don’t apply to everyone, only to those who fall under section 115 at a certain time.
