#GiftArticle#ICE declares millions of undocumented #immigrants ineligible for bond hearings
A memo from ICE’s acting director instructs officers to hold immigrants who entered the country illegally “for the duration of their removal proceedings,” which can take months or years.#law #Constitution #DueProcess #immigration #Trump #authoritarianism #dictatorship #tyranny #autocracy https://wapo.st/40e4rfK

The #Trump admin has declared that #immigrants who arrived in the #US illegally are no longer eligible for a bond hearing as they fight #deportation proceedings in court, acc/to documents reviewed by WaPo.
In a July 8 memo, Todd M. Lyons, acting director of #ICE, told officers that such immigrants should be detained “for the duration of their removal proceedings,” which can take months or YEARS.#law #Constitution #DueProcess #immigration #authoritarianism #dictatorship #tyranny #autocracy

Lawyers say the policy will apply to millions of #immigrants who crossed the US-Mexico border over the past few decades, including under #Biden.In the past, immigrants residing in the #US interior generally have been allowed to request a bond hearing before an #immigration judge. But Lyons wrote that the #Trump admin’s #DHS & #DOJ had “revisited its legal position on detention & release authorities” & determined that such immigrants “may not be released from ICE custody.”#law #Constitution

In rare exceptions immigrants may be released on parole, but that decision will be up to an #immigration officer, not a judge, he wrote.The provision is based on a section of #ImmigrationLaw that says unauthorized immigrants “shall be detained” after their arrest, but that has historically applied to those who recently crossed the border & not longtime residents.#law #Constitution #DueProcess #Trump #authoritarianism #dictatorship #tyranny #autocracy

Lyons, who oversees the nation’s 200 #immigration #detention facilities, wrote that the #policy is expected to face #legal challenges.
…#CBP Commissioner Rodney Scot issued similar guidance last week….
The new detention policy comes days after #Congress passed a spending package that will allocate $45B over the next 4 years to lock up #immigrants for civil #deportation proceedings. The measure will allow #ICE to roughly double the nation’s immigrant detention capacity to 100k people a day.

Since the memos were issued, the American Immigration Lawyers Assn said members reported that #immigrants were being denied bond hearings in more than a dozen #immigration #courts across the #US…. #DOJ oversees the immigration courts.
“This is their way of putting in place nationwide a method of detaining even more people,” said Greg Chen, snr dir of govt relations for #AILA. “It’s requiring the detention of far more people w/o any real review of their individual circumstances.”#law #Trump

…In its 2024 annual report…, #ICE said it detains #immigrants only “when necessary” & that the vast majority of the 7.6 million people then on its docket were released pending #immigration proceedings. Keeping them detained while their case is adjudicated has not been logistically possible, & advocates have raised concern for immigrants’ #health & #welfare in civil immigration #detention. [It is also incredibly expensive]#law #Constitution #DueProcess #Trump #authoritarianism #tyranny

@Nonilex I can't help but think these immigrants, that they can detain forever, will be used as slave labor.

…#Immigration lawyers say the #Trump administration is expanding a legal standard typically used to hold recent arrivals at the southern border to a much broader group — including #immigrants who have lived in the #UnitedStates for decades. Many have #US #citizen #children, lawyers say, & likely have the legal grounds to defend themselves against #deportation.#law #Constitution #DueProcess #authoritarianism #dictatorship #tyranny #autocracy #TheCrueltyIsThePoint

Forcing them to remain in #detention facilities often in far-flung areas such as an alligator-infested swamp in Florida or the Arizona desert would make it more difficult to fight their cases, because they will be unable to work or easily communicate with #family members & #lawyers to prepare their cases.#law #Constitution #DueProcess #immigration #Trump #authoritarianism #dictatorship #tyranny #autocracy #TheCrueltyIsThePoint https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/07/05/alligator-alcatraz-immigrants-detention-florida/
