According to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), the number of migrants crossing the border into the United States reached an all-time high at the end of 2023. As a result, it is more important than ever for attorneys to have the necessary skills and expertise to represent detained individuals proficiently. Our panel of experienced practitioners will discuss how to determine bond eligibility (including when mandatory detention applies), best practices for bond hearings, and other major challenges facing detainees and their attorneys.
Featured Topics:
- How to negotiate Alternatives to Detention (ATD)
- What to do if a client is considered an “arriving alien?”
- Bond hearings beyond best practices: Is there ever a “second bite at the bond apple?”
- Matter of Joseph hearings
- Attorney access to clients
- When to consider habeas corpus
