There is more important immigration news.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has become the fourth federal appeals court to reject the Trump administration’s policy of keeping many immigrants in ICE detention without giving them a chance to ask for bond.

The administration has argued that many immigrants who entered the United States without inspection should be placed in mandatory detention, even if they have lived in the U.S. for many years, have families, jobs, and no criminal history.

The Tenth Circuit disagreed.

The court ruled that immigration law does not allow the government to automatically deny bond hearings to these immigrants. Instead, many people should still have the opportunity to appear before an immigration judge and ask to be released while their immigration cases continue.

This is an important decision because being held in ICE detention can have devastating consequences. Families are separated, people lose their jobs, children are left without parents, and it becomes much harder to prepare a defense in immigration court.

A bond hearing does not guarantee release. It simply gives an immigration judge the opportunity to decide whether someone is a danger to the community or a flight risk before ordering continued detention.

The legal fight is not over. Federal appeals courts around the country have reached different conclusions, and the Trump administration has already asked the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve the disagreement. The Supreme Court will likely make the final decision on whether this nationwide detention policy is lawful. (Reuters)

If you or a loved one has been detained by ICE, do not assume that detention is permanent or that you have no rights. Every case is different, and there may be legal options available.
