Deported Repeat Offenders Seeking Asylum No Get Bail

We got a modicum of common as well as legal sense from the Supremes as they ruled already deported violators claiming asylum can’t get bailed out upon illegally re-entering the U.S.

Da. As the WSJ noted: “Normally, noncitizens seeking asylum are entitled to bail hearings where they can seek release if an immigration judge finds they meet certain conditions,” e.g., they aren’t on anyone’s terrorist list. Yet, brilliantly opined Justice Samuel Alito who wrote for the High Court’s conservative majority, “aliens who re-entered the country illegally after removal have demonstrated a willingness to violate the terms of the removal order” as set forth by Congress under the existing (broken) immigration system.

Of course, the Supreme Court’s progressive wing wailed its objection. Justice Stephen Breyer writing for the minority dissent asked: “Why would Congress want to deny a bond hearing to individuals who reasonably fear persecution or torture, and who, as a result, face proceedings that may last for many months or years?” Maybe, Justice Breyer, maybe even the peanut eaters in Congress can guess the criminals who have already been deported, but keep sneaking back into the U.S., would make Americans fearful of being “tortured” by them if let out on bail … again?
