Supreme Court Denies Bond Rights to Certain Immigrants

The Supreme Court has ruled that immigrants who re-enter the United States illegally do not have the right to bond. This is what the Supreme Court decided in a 6-3 ruling, in which the justices held that: Regardless of whether a person fears returning to their country or has suffered persecution, if they re-enter the United States illegally, that person will not have the right to a bond or a bond hearing. In other words, the person may be detained for an indefinite period. It is important to know that this only applies to people who entered the United States illegally. If you have a family member who is detained by immigration agents and it is their first time entering the country, they may possibly be able to obtain a bond or be released on their own recognizance.
