Undocumented immigrants without inspection are not entitled to bail

For a long time, judges allowed those who posed no danger or risk of flight to be released on bail, meaning that millions of immigrants who entered the country without inspection and who could be detained will no longer be entitled to release on bail.

This is because a federal immigration board of the Department of Justice ruled that they no longer have this right to bail while their legal proceedings are ongoing, meaning that the measure will force many to remain in detention for months or even years.

Ariel Ruiz Soto, Senior Policy Analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, discusses the legal argument behind this determination.
