Georgia judges deal blow to ICE’s new mandatory detention policy
By Lautaro Grinspan


From 2019 to 2024, just 40% of the nearly 18,000 immigrant bond hearings in Georgia resulted in bond being granted, according to data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonpartisan research organization at Syracuse University. Those who win bond must have been able to pay it in full, unlike bonds in a criminal setting, where defendants can pay a percentage of the full bail to leave custody. The median bond amount granted by Georgia immigration judges was $7,500, according to the TRAC.
