ICE Detention Policies

In Pennsylvania’s Eastern District, and in federal courts nationwide, Philadelphia judges are increasingly pushing back against the government’s mandatory immigration detention policy. Courts have consistently ruled that detaining people without giving them a bond hearing may violate federal law.

In the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alone, judges have granted relief in dozens of matters, joining hundreds of federal judges across the country who have questioned the legality of blanket detention practices.

The Impact on Immigrants

For families and immigrants, the impact has been heartbreaking. Children, refuges, and immigrants in the work force are being subjected to right-stripping policies while held in detention without the opportunity to appear before a judge. In the past, many would have had the chance to request release while their case moved forward. Now, some must file special petitions in federal court just to challenge being kept in custody. Without a lawyer, that process can feel overwhelming or out of reach.

If you or someone you love has been detained by ICE and denied a bond hearing, you are may have some legal avenues to seek justice.
