I like to think our criminal justice system was setup to punish the guilty after trial, not claim guilt before and have no obligation for a trial.


True. When we think of something like this we often think of the MS-13 gang members and not the lowly cook at the Tex-Mex restaurant getting rail roaded

Yes, and they all had a bond hearing when they were initially brought in. It's no surprise that a person who has an extremely low chance of ever returning to court isn't given bond. This case has nothing to do with that. It's periodic bond hearing during the course of the case. 


You're OK with an immigrant being held with no primary bond hearing while Immigration determines their legality?

You should read the Case. He had a hearing and was ordered removed. He was only here longer because he was appealing.

Does it not say immigrants are held without bond, until their legality is determined?

What the 9th circuit was saying was after 6 months, if immigration hadn't determined their legality, they should have a bond hearing on their charges.

Or did I read it wrong?

Now this seems fricked up...

Aren't they US citizens at this point and should be given full rights as such?

No. These are people that have green cards. Basically that just means that they are not here on a visa and they can stay to live and work as long as they want to, barring a change in status. However, they are not citizens and do not have the same rights citizens do.




Ah.

I never knew green cards were considered permanent. If they can easily be revoked, how is that permanent?

I think that is just poor choice of words IMO.

It is interesting that Alito questioned if immigrants have a right to a bail hearing as well for criminal cases.

Well that's really fricked up. I guess the US is now past even pretending to give a shite about human rights.

Why? If they aren’t supposed to be here deport them. Don’t let them sit in a cell wasting tax money.

Why would it take Immigration 3 years to determine if the complaintant in this case was legally authorized to be in the US?



Backlog?



Or California Legislature?

It's double sided. They'll let immigrants use up the appeal process but deny them a bond hearing.

Keep em in the system.

But this applies to all immigrants, legal and otherwise. It seems to me that basically if youre not a citizen you are a traffic stop away from being detained indefinitely, regardless if you are here legally or not. Thats not a small thing.


That's how it comes across to me as well.

shite this could be used to justify immigrant internment camps. W/how politicians suckle at the for profit prison teat this has the potential to spiral.

The whole principle is retarded. The complaintant was arguing to stay in America, which he had been since 1987. All the while, the governments case was he was a potential flight risk.

Think about that for a second.

Not exactly but close. All non-citizen immigrants. Once you are granted citizenship, you are entitled to all the rights therein.

So you don't think a guy trying to avoid deportation is a risk to flee, assume another identity, and fail to show up for their next hearing which will likely mean they get deported?

I can help. You can have permanent legal status, but then screw it up by committing a serious felony within 5 years of becoming a permanent resident. Or if you commit two felonies at any time, you have your permanent residency stripped from you.

The current percentage of those who don't show up for their immigration court hearings before the judge sits about 86%.
