Most families think posting bond is the way to get someone out of immigration detention—but right

Most families think posting bond is the way to get someone out of immigration detention—but right now, that path is failing. 🚨 To win bond, you have to prove you’re not a danger and not a flight risk. ⚖️ Even minor records or strong family ties are no longer enough in many cases. Judges are denying bond more often, sometimes with little explanation, even when the evidence is solid. 😔 Here’s the alternative that’s working: a federal habeas corpus petition. This lawsuit argues that the detention itself is unlawful, and federal judges are increasingly agreeing. Some are ordering bond hearings that were never granted, while others are ordering immediate release. ✊ The difference is independence. Federal judges don’t answer to the executive branch. That makes federal court a stronger path right now for challenging detention. If a loved one is detained, time matters. This approach could be the key to getting them out. If you need help with an asylum case or getting a loved one out of immigration detention, send “CONSULT” in a direct message.
