​AG Bonta a co-led a multistate amicus brief in Guerrero Orellana v. Moniz in support of a challenge to the Trump Administration’s “no-bond” policy, which mandates indefinite detention of certain non-citizens without the opportunity for a bond hearing. Under the administration’s new interpretation of decades-old law, there is no consideration of individual circumstances, including for those with dependent young children, U.S. citizen family members, deep roots in the community, no criminal history, and strong claims for relief. Attorney General Bonta has repeatedly opposed this policy, co-leading two multi-state amicus briefs in support of the plaintiff-petitioners in Bautista v. Department of Homeland Security and Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock. In yesterday’s brief, the coalition argues that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) unprecedented reinterpretation of immigration law violates due process and federal statutes, and inflicts widespread harm on detained noncitizens, families, communities, and state economies.
