US EditionICE declares millions of undocumented immigrants ineligible for bond hearings
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The policy denies bond hearings to millions, expanding detention amid a $45 billion funding boost for ICE to nearly 100,000 beds, intensifying deportation efforts.
- The Trump administration announced a new ICE policy on July 8, 2025, denying bond hearings to immigrants who entered the U.S. without documents nationwide.
- This policy change follows prior funding expansions and directives to detain such immigrants for their entire removal proceedings amid surging immigration and court backlogs.
- Advocates and legal experts highlight challenges such as scarce legal representation, language barriers, and a high rate of deportation for unrepresented immigrants in states like New Jersey.
- Reports show ICE’s current capacity is about 62,913 detainees, with recent laws allocating $45 billion to increase detention beds near 100,000, and hire 10,000 additional agents.
- The policy is expected to increase the detained population and may worsen immigration court backlogs while intensifying struggles over immigration enforcement and legal representation.
