Ep6 - Bail and Family Separation

A third of people in U.S. immigration detention are locked up in county and city jails. Immigration bond amounts are set by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); while immigration judges have the ability to reevaluate bond amounts at hearings, many immigrants do not have access to legal counsel to advocate for an appropriate reduction. Immigration bond does not permit deposit amounts, requiring thousands of dollars of payment-in-full to release an individual. There is no limitation to the length of pretrial detention for immigrants. This episode will cover the entrapment of undocumented families and an overview of the Sandusky Ohio raids.
