Crespin v. Evans – Fourth Circuit
October 13, 2017
The American Immigration Council, in collaboration with the American Immigration Lawyers Association, filed an amicus brief in Crespin v. Evans. The amicus brief argued that the pre-final order detention statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1226, governed the Petitioner’s detention pending his withholding-only proceedings, and therefore he should not be subject to mandatory detention and should have an opportunity for a bond hearing.
