ICE Declares Illegal Migrants Ineligible For Bond Hearings

The Trump administration is aiming to make illegal migrants ineligible for bond hearings as they contest their deportation cases in court.

All foreign nationals who unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border must remain in detention for the duration of their deportation proceedings, according to interim guidance ordered by acting 🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Todd Lyons, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed Tuesday. The directive, which was dated earlier in July, is expected to apply to millions of illegal migrants currently living in the country.

“The Biden administration dangerously unleashed millions of unvetted illegal aliens into American communities — and they used many loopholes to do so,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a public statement shared with the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

“President Trump and Secretary Noem are now enforcing this law as it was actually written to keep America safe,” McLaughlin continued. “Politicians and activists can cry wolf all they want, but it won’t deter this administration from keeping these criminals and lawbreakers off American streets — and now thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill, we will have plenty of bed space to do so.”

The policy change could prove monumental in disincentivizing illegal 🛂Immigration, with countless illegal migrants having long been allowed to live and work freely in the U.S. after being released from Immigration
