In April, the Attorney General issued a ruling in Matter of M-S-, eliminating all bond hearings for asylum seekers in expedited removal. This would have left th...ousands of vulnerable immigrants locked up for months or years while they seek protection from persecution. Today, the district court blocked that ruling from taking effect by issuing an order in Padilla, finding that eliminating these bond hearings likely violates due process. The court ordered the government to give certain detained asylum seekers a bond hearing within seven days of their request andimportantlyshifted the burden to the government to justify continued detention. The court’s decision is a critical step in our fight to ensure that asylum seekers are free from arbitrary detention. Please read and share the decision and more details about Padilla v. ICE, available here.
