Back to EpisodesKansas City Lawsuit Challenges Immigration Detention
Description
A new lawsuit in Kansas City federal court challenges federal authorities policy of detaining noncitizens without bond hearings, a practice that began last July. The plaintiffs, including the Asylum Clinic and four individuals detained for months, seek a temporary restraining order to halt this policy. The Department of Homeland Securitys shift in labeling long-term noncitizens as applicants for admission has led to mandatory detention, causing a backlog of cases and hardship for those affected. A recent Eighth Circuit ruling supported the policy, but the fight continues, with three class actions brewing nationwide. The outcome of these rulings will impact immigration law and beyond.
