TRAC Immigration: Detained Immigrants Seeking Release on Bond Have Widely Different Outcomes – Overall Bond Grant Rates Have Dropped

TRAC Immigration’s latest report provides some fascinating immigrant bond release information:

“The latest case-by-case Immigration Court records show that detained immigrants seeking release on bond have widely differing outcomes depending upon where they are being held.  The odds that Immigration Judges granted bond motions varied from a low of just three percent at the Northwest Detention Center in the state of Washington to 45 percent at the Krome North Special Processing Center in Florida.  The Aurora Immigration Court in Colorado and the Conroe Immigration Court in Texas had almost as high grant rates by Immigration Judges of bond motions of 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively. The Eloy Detention Center in Arizona had just a 10 percent grant rate. See Figure 1 which includes all detention locations with at least 500 bond decisions in FY 2023. Complete details on the outcome of bond motions at every detention facility can be found using TRAC’s online free Immigration Court Bond Hearings tool.” (footnotes omitted) (bold added).
