"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 5:27 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that immigrants, even those with permanent legal status and asylum seekers, do not have the right to periodic bond hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a profound loss for those immigrants appealing what are sometimes indefinite detentions by the government. Many are held for long periods of time — on average, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/11/30/503658628/supreme-court-to-consider-how-long-immigrants-may-be-detained-without-bond-heari\">13 months \u003c/a>— after being picked up for things as minor as joyriding. Some are held even longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case, \u003cem>Jennings v. Rodriguez\u003c/em>, has implications for legal permanent residents whom the government wants to deport because they committed crimes and for asylum seekers who are awaiting a court date after turning themselves in at the border. Immigrant advocates contend that many of these immigrants have a right to be free on bail until their case is heard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the court wrote in its 5-3 opinion Tuesday, \"Immigration officials are authorized to detain certain aliens in the course of immigration proceedings while they determine whether those aliens may be lawfully present in the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority opinion was penned by Justice Samuel Alito and joined by the court's conservatives. (Justice Elena Kagan did not participate. She recused herself, stemming from work she had done as former President Barack Obama's solicitor general.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"9AlhnHFEyp0ZrGQxVqWiK3ClufMMrbgz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision reversed a Ninth Circuit ruling, but this is not the last word and could come back to the high court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court sent the case the back to the lower court with two questions unresolved. First, whether indefinite detention without a chance for bail is unconstitutional. Second, whether the challenge to that no-bail provision can be brought as a class action, instead of as individual cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford Law professor Lucas Guttentag says that in practical terms, the class action question is enormously important because most of the immigrants affected by Tuesday's decision don't have lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they're required to proceed individually, many of them will never be able to pursue their claims,\" he says. \"A class action provides protection to everyone, not just to those who have a lawyer who can file a lawsuit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Justice Stephen G. Breyer read from his dissent, a rare move for the court and an indication of just how passionately he disagrees with the majority opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need only recall the words of the Declaration of Independence,\" Breyer said, \"in particular its insistence that all men and women have 'certain unalienable Rights,' and that among them is the right to 'Liberty.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued, calling the ruling \"legal fiction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whatever the fiction, would the Constitution leave the Government free to starve, beat, or lash those held within our boundaries?\" Breyer argued. \"If not, then, whatever the fiction, how can the Constitution authorize the Government to imprison arbitrarily those who, whatever we might pretend, are in reality right here in the United States?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"dnaQesUx3P7zOC2BxUWpS9dgPZQNL35z\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breyer added, \"No one can claim, nor since the time of slavery has anyone to my knowledge successfully claimed, that persons held within the United States are totally without constitutional protection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lead plaintiff in the case is a legal permanent resident, Alejandro Rodriguez, who came to the U.S. as a child and worked as a dental assistant. As a teenager, he was convicted for joyriding, and at 24, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodriguez was detained for three years without the right to appear before a judge to ask for bond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union took up Rodriguez's case. The civil rights group filed a class action lawsuit and eventually won his release and the cancellation of his deportation order.

Earlier this year, President Trump \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/17/immigration-judges-to-be-sent-to-border-detention-centers/\">had asked\u003c/a> for far more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, state legislators in California are also finding new ways to thwart detention expansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Trump administration and their stated goal to deport millions of U.S. residents would require a mass expansion of detention centers,” says California state Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens). “California would obviously be one of the major states that would be impacted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lara has reintroduced a bill that would end private prison contracts in four California cities and would hold local counties and cities to a higher set of detention standards.

Kevin Landy, an Obama appointee, used to direct that work.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\n“ICE detainees are powerless,” says Landy. “I think the federal government in this case needs to step up and make sure that it’s taking adequate care of the otherwise powerless people that it’s responsible for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Landy worries about any easing of standards at a time when the federal government is arresting more immigrants who have no history of crime. He says he’s especially concerned because “individuals with no criminal convictions are particularly vulnerable to physical and sexual assault, especially when you’re housing them in facilities that also detain convicted criminals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Detention facilities run by private companies and local jails would have to adhere to the 2011 standards if they significantly modify their current contracts or sign new ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, about two-thirds of adult detainees are covered by the higher 2011 standards, mostly at large private prisons. Some local jails are allowed to follow a looser set of rules. On an average day in November 40,875 people were detained by ICE across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>ICE Says Standards Are Sufficient\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In a statement, spokeswoman Danielle Bennett wrote “detainees in ICE custody reside in safe and secure environments and under appropriate conditions of confinement”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to questions about whether the agency is loosening detention standards, Bennett acknowledges that officials are “examining a variety of detention models” to expand the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As new options are explored, ICE’s commitment to maintaining excellent facilities and providing first-class medical care to those in our custody remains unchanged.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary Small, policy director at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.detentionwatchnetwork.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Detention Watch Network\u003c/a>, says the current administration has shown it’s not too concerned about conditions for immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ve already signaled to their detention contractors that they don’t take this stuff seriously and it’s not important to them,” Small says. “And so they’ve given folks free rein to cut corners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, none of the California jails detaining immigrants for ICE have agreed to meet the agency’s 2011 level of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jails in Contra Costa, Orange, Sacramento, San Bernardino and Yuba counties all hold long-standing contracts with ICE, along with a handful of city jails in Los Angeles County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fiscal year 2016 those jails combined held on average nearly 1,400 immigrants a day, with thousands more passing through facilities every year, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/08/how-trump-could-detain-more-immigrants-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to data from ICE\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In exchange, the counties and cities receive millions of dollars from ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>State Senator Says California Jails Must Improve Conditions\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>California jails are facing complaints, even lawsuits, for allegedly neglecting or abusing detainees and violating their due process rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent example, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3514968-Management-Alert-on-Issues-Requiring-Immediate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICE inspectors found\u003c/a> dirty moldy facilities at the Theo Lacy jail in Orange County, and rotten meat being served to detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen.

He punctuates every few words with “like” or “you know.” It wasn’t until he was in high school that he discovered he didn’t have legal status in the United States. That’s when his parents took him to meet an immigration lawyer after he was a victim of a crime.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before getting protection, he was arrested for drug possession and deported in 2010.

He composed letters to lawyers outlining his fears and his medical conditions. He hid them under his mattress, the only private place he could find.

He went to school in San Francisco and all of his family lives here, he says. As a kid he’d rent out local driveways and parking lots for 49ers football games. He punctuates every few words with “like” or “you know.” It wasn’t until he was in high school that he discovered he didn’t have legal status in the United States. That’s when his parents took him to meet an immigration lawyer after he was a victim of a crime.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before getting protection, he was arrested for drug possession and deported in 2010. In Mexico he discovered he was HIV-positive. That began a cycle of re-entries and deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rafael said he was physically threatened while seeking treatment for HIV in Mexico. He and his lawyers say he suffered even more traumatic incidents there. KQED agreed not to disclose them because he hasn’t shared what happened with his family. But he said he feared for his life, and fled back to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2016, Rafael had been diagnosed with hepatitis C, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, along with HIV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Last September, he was convicted of driving under the influence and served 42 days at an Alameda County jail. As he was being released, Rafael was apprehended in the jail lobby by two immigration officers who sent him to ICE detention near Sacramento, ICE records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, Rafael tried to get an attorney to fight his deportation. He composed letters to lawyers outlining his fears and his medical conditions. He hid them under his mattress, the only private place he could find. One day, he returned from court to the cell he shared with several other men and saw his private papers out in the open, spread on top of his bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Usually everybody came in and greeted me, just said, ‘How’s it going?’ But that day everybody was just looking at me,” Rafael said. He described the incident later in a phone call from jail, speaking softly so other inmates wouldn’t overhear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the confrontation unfolded, Rafael said, a friend warned him that his cellmates had read his letters and were threatening to harm him if he didn’t leave the jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody thought that they were going to get my infections, through me sitting down on the toilet and stuff like that,” Rafael said. “So everybody just decided that I had to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rafael grabbed his belongings and rushed to the common area, where he pressed an emergency button to summon the guards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his safety, ICE transferred Rafael from Sacramento to the Yuba County Jail in Marysville on Oct. 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Waiting for Treatment\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>When ICE moves a detainee, the agency is supposed to transfer all of the person’s medical records. But documents show that Yuba County Jail staff didn’t know at first that Rafael had hepatitis C. Even after they had confirmed his diagnosis, they still did not treat him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They weren't trying to give me my medicine, and I had symptoms,” he said in an interview from the jail. “I always put (in) my request to see the doctors and all they do is just give me, like, just Tums,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11599250\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11599250\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-375x563.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells-520x780.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/kelly-engel-wells.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kelly Wells works in the small office she shares with other immigration attorneys at Dolores Street Community Services in San Francisco, California. \u003ccite>(Lisa Pickoff-White/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kelly Wells, an immigration attorney with \u003ca href=\"http://www.dscs.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dolores Street Community Services\u003c/a>, took on Rafael’s deportation case.

Both groups are subject to mandatory detention while they fight deportation in immigration court, but an immigration judge can order ICE to release detainees who pose little risk to public safety and have strong ties to their communities that make them a low flight risk.

And of detainees with criminal records, those convicted of relatively minor offenses — immigration offenses, drug use, possession or DUI — outnumbered by nearly 3-to-1 those convicted of violent felonies. Many of those crimes were also committed years ago. On average, the most recent conviction had occurred seven years before being detained by immigration. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w13229.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Statistically\u003c/a>, immigrants are less likely to commit crime than people born in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of immigrants detained in California were arrested in the state or at the border, Human Rights Watch said. About 40 percent of detainees entered into the system in San Diego or at the border; and 20 percent in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of SB 54 and SB 29 say that ending immigration detention in California would separate families since detainees would end up in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of time that immigrant detainees spent in detention varied greatly, according to the Human Rights Watch report.

As practicable, ICE will coordinate to afford detained parents or legal guardians access to counsel, consulates and consular officials, courts, and/or family members in the weeks preceding removal in order to execute documents (e.g., powers of attorney, passport applications), purchase airline tickets, and make other necessary arrangements prior to travel,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>State Legislation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Four bills moving through the state Legislature could dramatically change how immigration detention works in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/13/california-debates-whether-to-become-a-sanctuary-state/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 54\u003c/a> would prohibit law enforcement agencies from being involved in any immigration enforcement action, bar sheriffs from contacting ICE about someone in their jail and end contracts that local municipalities have to hold immigrant detainees for ICE.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/05/could-congress-and-california-thwart-trumps-mass-immigration-detention-plans/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 29\u003c/a> would phase out the contracts four California cities have with ICE to hold immigrant detainees in facilities run by private companies, hold counties and cities that house immigrant detainees in local jails to higher standards of care, make more detention records public documents and expand who could sue on behalf of immigrant detainees.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB630\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 630\u003c/a> would prohibit counties from using state funds to expand jails that also are used to house federal prisoners, including immigrant detainees, for 10 years.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-california-legal-immigrant-defense-20170302-htmlstory.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 6\u003c/a> would provide legal aid to anyone arrested by ICE, who is not convicted of a violent crime.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The California State Sheriffs' Association opposes three of the bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spokesman Cory Salzillo said the state is overstepping its authority by attempting to regulate immigrant detention in the state. He said ICE sets the standards for immigrant detainees with local jails, and those standards are written into legally binding contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa Sheriff David Livingston is particularly concerned about SB 54. The county receives about $6 million a year from its contract with ICE to hold immigrant detainees like Maguiber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think it’s a disaster,” he told \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/12/rep-eric-swalwell-sheriff-david-livingston-maz-jobrani-golden-state-warriors/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED Newsroom\u003c/a> prior to the release of the Human Rights Watch report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's Trust Act restricts sheriffs from detaining immigrants with minor crimes past their release date.

And of detainees with criminal records, those convicted of relatively minor offenses — immigration offenses, drug use, possession or DUI — outnumbered by nearly 3-to-1 those convicted of violent felonies. Many of those crimes were also committed years ago. On average, the most recent conviction had occurred seven years before being detained by immigration. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w13229.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Statistically\u003c/a>, immigrants are less likely to commit crime than people born in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of immigrants detained in California were arrested in the state or at the border, Human Rights Watch said. About 40 percent of detainees entered into the system in San Diego or at the border; and 20 percent in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of SB 54 and SB 29 say that ending immigration detention in California would separate families since detainees would end up in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of time that immigrant detainees spent in detention varied greatly, according to the Human Rights Watch report.
