The United States Justice department has just released guidelines for non bond status of credible fear asylum seekers. Aliens claiming credible fear in their home country will no longer be released on bond pending a hearing. These laws have been on the books for decades but were not enforced, International law states that asylum seekers must apply for refugee status in the first country they come to. That is of course Mexico for Central Americans. Arriving at the United States border after passing through Mexico changes the nature of the claim.William Barr is going to enforce laws which have been on books for decades allowing indefinite terms of detention for those awaiting adjudication of credible fear asylum claims.Future developments should be quite interesting!
