The no-bond ruling is William Barr's first immigration-related decision since taking office as attorney general.
U.S. Atty. Gen. William Barr decided Tuesday that asylum seekers who clear a"credible fear" interview and are facing removal don't have the right to be released on bond by an immigration court judge while their cases are pending. The attorney general has the authority to overturn prior rulings made by immigration courts, which fall under the Justice Department.
The decision doesn't affect asylum-seeking families because they generally can't be held for longer than 20 days. It also doesn't apply to unaccompanied minors. There were a total of 161,000 asylum applications filed in the last fiscal year and 46,000 in the first quarter of 2019, according to the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which oversees immigration courts.
Attorney General would hate doing civic work.
Perfect decision for private prison owners. More illegals not released on bond translates into more money for private prison owners where such detainees will be held.
Great decision

Well. I hate to tell you and I wish I was wrong but here it goes. This Fcking administration is corrupt and he was the wrong pick. Americans no longer have human consideration anymore. All praise Putin. Our true God and savior.
Send them to sanctuary city New York
Good. Lock them up.
All legal? ✈️👍🏻😈
Barr is a good man. We need more like him. 🇺🇸
Asylum seekers who pass a credible fear interview will remain in detention like criminals. Are you kidding me? What the hell is wrong w/ these people. This administration is full of just the worst of the worst in politics. I am embarrassed. I am appalled. I am gutted completely.
I’m astounded by msm and pundits who had access to history who thought this man would be fairandbalanced when he was just another unethical mouthpiece for trump unethical swampmonster
bad man.
