Criminal Aliens Choose Detention, Demand More Rights
August 1, 2018
WASHINGTON – The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) has filed a brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on the issue of whether the Constitution requires that criminal aliens who are in detention pending their removal hearings be given periodic bail hearings. Because these aliens have chosen their own detention, IRLI argues, they have no constitutional right to such hearings.
IRLI filed its brief in support of the United States government. The case is in the Ninth Circuit on remand from the Supreme Court, which already has decided that the aliens have no right given to them in the Immigration and Nationality Act to have such hearings, and has sent the issue of whether they have a constitutional right to such hearings back down for initial decision by the Ninth Circuit.
