Immigrants' Rights and Detention

Gordon v. Johnson and CASTA脩EDA v. Souza

In Gordon v. Johnson, the 桃子视频and its partners obtained a class action ruling making some 150 Massachusetts detainees a year eligible for individual bond hearings.

Since May 2014, the federal district court鈥檚 ruling has allowed more than 100 noncitizens to be released from mandatory detention and remain with their families while their immigration cases are resolved.
