Board of Immigration Appeals Rules Undocumented Immigrants Ineligible for Bond Hearings
The Board of Immigration Appeals ruled that undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally are not eligible for bond hearings, expanding mandatory detention for millions. This decision affirms a July order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Judge Keith E. Hunsucker of the Board of Immigration Appeals upheld a previous order by Todd M. Lyons, acting director of ICE, which mandates that undocumented immigrants be detained throughout their deportation proceedings, a process that can last for months or years.
