This petition for habeas corpus challenges a Trump Administration policy of denying eligibility for bond to people in immigration detention that entered the country without inspection. On October 17, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan determined that the petitioners were entitled to a detention hearing pending their removal proceedings and ordered immediate release or a bond hearing within seven days. .
