Bond for those in detention is missing a consideration of money-free bond. Money based Bond should never determine continued carceration of this population! Any sense of risk to do harm, as ground for bond, the presence of time and a stake in the community, presence of family, operations of business and usual activity, without financial charge as a determinant of Bond must be done, no matter what their immigration status. Why would a child or teen be charged to be released? Why would any adult?
Because the entire immigration detention system (and much of the enforcement apparatus) exists for the sole purpose of exploiting constitutional and administrative law grey areas in order to make private prison companies rich, that’s why. Once you understand that everything else makes perfect sense.
Nice reporting, well done!
