AILA Submits Amicus Brief on Whether Detention Becomes Unreasonable After One Year

2/19/20 AILA Doc. No. 20031934. Detention & Bond, Removal & Relief

AILA submitted an amicus brief in Reid v. Donelan, urging the First Circuit to find that the district court committed an error in holding that: detention without a bond hearing pending completion of removal proceedings only is likely to be unreasonable when it has stretched on for more than one year, rather than six months; and in order to obtain an individualized bond hearing, noncitizens first must file a petition for habeas corpus and prove that their detention has been unreasonably prolonged.
