Approximately 400,000 people are detained in prisons, jails, and private detention facilities across the country pending deportation proceedings. For many of these immigrants, the federal government asserts that their detention is mandated--even for years--without the right to an individualized bond hearing. As the Obama Administration and Congress contemplate comprehensive immigration reform, elected officials have paid little attention to the expansive and costly mass incarceration of immigrants as part of the country's current enforcement-first approach. In this Forum, we heard from the leading litigators and community activists who are taking the mandatory detention system head-on, both nationwide and just across the river in New Jersey, where hundreds of immigrant New Yorkers are held each year.
