The surge in ICE arrests in the community since January 2025, coupled with recent legislation, policy changes, and litigation have made mandatory detention a quickly developing area of law with potentially serious consequences for our clients, their families, and their communities. This webinar will cover the current legal landscape of ICE detention, particularly ICE’s assertion that an increasing number of individuals are now subject to mandatory detention. In addition, we will consider our role as advocates in advising and strategizing regarding the possibility of mandatory detention. Finally, we will look at current trends in bond proceedings, which can inform us on best practices.
