Schiltz took the administration to task over its handling of bond hearings for immigrants it has detained. This Court has been extremely patient with respondents, even though respondents decided to send thousands of agents to Minnesota to detain aliens without making any provision for dealing with the hundreds of habeas petitions and other lawsuits that were sure to result, the judge wrote.

[a]liens who are present in the United States without admission .... must be detained for the duration of their removal proceedings.

What they're talking about here is incarcerating millions of people, not 100,000 people. Right? Not 50,000, not 40,000 something people, which is what they've got now.

The new policy would bar millions of immigrants from receiving a bond hearing during removal proceedings, affecting those who entered the US from Mexico in recent decades.
