detention

And that I never doubted, so I'm grateful for that.

And it wasn't until later in life, you know, going through challenges as a kid, school, skipping, Detention, expulsion, you know, fighting, drugs, alcohol, all that, you know, arrest.

Then I ended up joining the Marine Corps, which was a very, very good step for me.

It got me out of my environment, which, Ryan, that's what I always wanted.

And then once I started law school, I worked for my first semester, actually, in my first year, it was the second semester, I started with the International Human Rights Law Clinic, and I got to work on human rights law issues.

And at that point, Detention in Guantanamo Bay was a really big deal, and I got to help represent some prisoners who had been detained in Guantanamo who were trying to get... you know, access to legal representation to challenge their detention, because a lot of times folks weren't even given a reason for why they were being locked up.

So anywho, that took me on this whole path of human rights law.

And then after graduation, I ended up working at a corporate law firm in Los Angeles for three years to pay back all of my law school loans, because, you know, law school is really expensive in the US.

The aliens' detention easily clears this bar.

Congress enjoys broad power over naturalization and immigration and regularly makes rules that would be unacceptable if applied to citizens.

More importantly, pointedly, Detention during removal proceedings is a constitutionally permissible part of that process, and the government may constitutionally detain deportable aliens during the limited period necessary for their removal proceedings.

As the Supreme Court long ago noted, deportation proceedings would be in vain if those accused could not be held in custody pending their inquiry into their true character.

The aliens detention pending removal proceedings did not violate any substantive due process right and habeas relief and release is inappropriate under such a theory.

Indeed, their detention will last only for the duration of a removal proceeding under statute.

There is no allegation, much less any showing of evidence, that the aliens' removal is no longer reasonably feasible or foreseeable, as Zadvita suggests would create constitutional problems.

Detention still necessarily serves the purpose of preventing the aliens from fleeing prior to or during the removal proceedings, thus increasing the chance that if ordered removed, they will be successfully removed.

We should be fighting for something that will be long-term and address the problem at its roots.

Detention centers will always remain a threat, regardless of who is in power, until we build something different.

We need to envision a transformative concept that will permanently replace camps.

We know that with the absence of these facilities, ICE is less likely to detain our communities.

Over-detention is becoming a serious problem in US prisons, particularly in Louisiana.

The US Justice Department has found Louisiana's prison system regularly holds people who have served their full sentence longer than it should, releasing them later than their scheduled release date.

The state's correction department is subject to at least one lawsuit from people who were over-detained.
