AILA and the American Immigration Council File Amicus Brief in Jennings v. Rodriguez

AILA and the American Immigration Council filed an amicus brief in support of the respondents in Jennings v. Rodriguez, urging the U.S. Supreme Court to affirm the Ninth Circuit’s ruling that certain immigrants are entitled to automatic bond hearings following six months of detention. Amici argue that developments since the Supreme Court’s decision in Demore v. Kim confirm that blanket mandatory detention cannot be justified, and that Demore was incorrect even on its own premises and should be overruled. (Jennings v. Rodriguez, 10/24/16)
