    AG Barr Orders Immigration Judges To Stop Releasing Asylum-Seekers On Bail

    The Department of Justice issued an order on Tuesday that could keep thousands of asylum-seekers detained while they wait for their cases to be heard in immigration court — a wait that often lasts months or years.

    The ruling by Attorney General William Barr is the latest step by the Trump administration designed to discourage asylum-seekers from coming to the U.S. hoping for refuge.

    In a written decision that overturns a 2005 policy, Barr directed immigration judges not to release migrants on bail once their cases have been approved for expedited removal proceedings — a status granted only after an applicant successfully establishes "a credible fear of persecution or torture" in the home country.

    "I conclude that such aliens remain ineligible for bond, whether they are arriving at the border or are apprehended in the United States" Barr, who has the authority to overturn prior rulings made by immigration courts, wrote.

    Instead, asylum-seekers "must be detained until [their] removal proceedings conclude." Only those people granted parole by the Department of Homeland Security will be eligible for release, according to Barr's order.

  4. This is all you got today Richter?

    We have endured two years of multiple daily media matters posts about how everyone's dick was going to fall off once the Mueller report comes out.

    Then the report came out yesterday and all you got is some crappy article on detaining asylum seekers???

    YOU ARE LOOKNG PRETTY FLACCID.

    Looks like Mueller and Barr flipped on you rather than Popadop and Mannafort flipping on Trump.
