Politik · Trump detention net · Archiv47 Richter, ein Gesetz und der Kautionsstreit, der das Land spaltetVerfasst 7. September 2026 um 21:22 UTCAnsehenTranskript0:00The Trump administration's no-bond0:01immigration detention policy, in effect0:03since 2025, is causing fear among even0:06lawfully present immigrants in North0:07Dakota. The Department of Homeland0:09Security now holds all detained0:10immigrants without the possibility of0:12bond, regardless of their legal status0:14or community ties. Immigration attorney0:16Eric Rick, who practices in North0:18Dakota, describes a system where clients0:20with valid work permits are afraid to go0:22to their jobs. The fear of being0:23detained and held indefinitely without0:25bond has paralyzed many who entered the0:27country legally. Rick says the policy0:29ties the hands of attorneys who can no0:31longer argue for bond on behalf of their0:33clients. Even lawful immigrants with0:35pending cases are being swept up in the0:37enforcement net. But the fear extends0:39beyond the courtroom. Immigration judges0:41across the country now face a stark0:43choice: deny cases or risk losing their0:45jobs. Attorneys say the pressure on the0:47bench has fundamentally changed the0:49dynamic of immigration proceedings,0:51eroding any sense of due process. Take0:53the case of one Colombian mother who0:55entered the United States legally under0:57a parole program. She now fears not only0:59indefinite detention but deportation1:01back to a country she fled. Her story1:03reflects the broader anxiety gripping1:05immigrant communities, even among those1:07who followed every legal requirement.1:09And the policy comes at a steep economic1:11cost. North Dakota currently has just 471:13workers for every 100 available jobs,1:16one of the tightest labor markets in the1:17country. With lawful immigrants afraid1:19to work, the state's employers are1:21losing the very workers they need most1:23to fill critical roles. 47 workers for1:25every 100 jobs, that is a shortage of1:28more than 50%. And the no-bond detention1:31policy is making it worse, keeping1:33lawfully present immigrants on the1:34sidelines, afraid to contribute to the1:36economy they were already part of. For1:38immigration attorneys like Eric Rick,1:40the challenge is getting harder by the1:42day. How do you represent clients too1:44afraid to show up? How do you argue for1:46fairness when judges fear for their own1:48jobs? The human cost of this policy1:51continues to mount with no sign of1:53change on the horizon.Artikel lesenChronologie der GeschichteHeyDexDas Kurzvideo ↗
