Barr decides that asylum seekers must be detained during deportation proceedings

The ruling, which will come into effect in 90 days, indicates that an earlier decision allowing asylum seekers to be released on bail while their case was being heard by an immigration judge was incorrect. Only the Department of Homeland Security has the power to release asylum seekers, he wrote.

"I conclude that these aliens still can not be put on bail, that they arrive at the border or are apprehended in the United States," Barr said.

Barr overturned a 2005 decision that determined that claimants were eligible for bail if they could expose their fears of persecution or danger as they left the United States.

But the Attorney General argued that under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the administration was allowed to detain all undocumented immigrants who had initially been placed in a referral procedure accelerated, but who had then passed the test of credible fear and had been transferred to a full hearing before an immigration judge.

He also referred to a 2018 Supreme Court ruling that the law did not limit the length of detention of an immigrant.

Some asylum seekers are exempted from this rule, such as unaccompanied migrant families and children.

Barr's directive comes shortly after a federal judge in Washington State ruled that some refugee claimants seeking a hearing before an immigration judge would have to benefit from this hearing within seven days or be released.

And the rule comes in the midst of a legal battle against the Trump administration's policy demanding that asylum seekers remain in Mexico while their cases are under review.

Last week, a federal judge issued an injunction against the police, but the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal suspended the application of this order as it was considering the case. appeal lodged by the administration.
