More courts will allow bond for immigrants who entered through the border

A new court decision could represent an important opportunity for many immigrant families in the United States.

Recently, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals approved a measure similar to the one issued last week by the 11th Circuit, indicating that even individuals who entered the country without inspection may still have the right to request an immigration bond.

According to this decision, a detained person may be eligible to request bond if they can demonstrate factors such as:
• Family ties in the United States
• Time living in the country
• Good moral character
• That they do not represent a danger to the community
• That they are not a flight risk

This decision applies in states covered by the 6th Circuit, including Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee.

It is important to remember that every case is different, and requesting bond does not automatically guarantee release, as the judge will evaluate multiple factors before making a decision.
