ICE Detention Periods Vary Based on Stage of Removal Proceedings, Supreme Court Limits Post-Order Detention

ICE Detention Periods Vary Based on Stage of Removal Proceedings, Supreme Court Limits Post-Order Detention

The duration an individual can be held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) before deportation varies significantly depending on the stage of their removal proceedings. An immigration detainer, which is a request from the Department of Homeland Security for a jail or prison to hold someone briefly, allows for a maximum of 48 hours beyond the time they would otherwise be released, excluding weekends and holidays. This 48-hour limit applies to the jail, not ICE. Once ICE assumes custody, this detainer clock ends. For individuals in ICE custody without a final removal order, there is no fixed end date for detention, as authorized by 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), though release on bond or conditional parole is possible in some cases. However, 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) mandates detention for individuals with specific criminal grounds. After a final removal order is issued, a 90-day removal period begins, as per 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1). Detention can extend beyond this 90-day period under § 1231(a)(6) for certain categorie...

Judicial Security Risks Intensify, Prompting Calls for Structural Reforms to U.S. Marshals Service

Judicial Security Risks Intensify, Prompting Calls for Structural Reforms to U.S. Marshals Service

Threats against judges at all levels in the U.S. are intensifying, leading to calls for structural reforms to judicial security, particularly concerning the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS). According to a letter sent to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AO) by CREW President and Chief Executive Officer Donald Sherman and Judge Jeremy Fogel, judges are increasingly vulnerable to verbal and physical attacks. Supreme Court justices have also reported direct threats, with Justice Elena Kagan noting that 'threats have come very close' and Justice Amy Coney Barrett mentioning the need for a bulletproof vest. While Congress has increased funding for judicial security, concerns remain that the executive branch could interfere with the USMS's judicial security function, divert resources, or strip security from judges. The letter recommends legislative actions to implement stronger guardrails for USMS judicial security requirements, permit the Chief Justice to enter into agreements for additional security, ...
