Arriving Aliens and Immigration Judge Bond Jurisdiction
Why Immigration Judges generally lack custody-redetermination jurisdiction over arriving aliens and how that differs from ordinary INA §236(a) bond review.
8 C.F.R. §1003.19(h) excludes arriving aliens in removal proceedings from ordinary Immigration Judge bond-redetermination jurisdiction. The jurisdictional limitation includes specified arriving aliens paroled after arrival. The respondent should first determine the custody statute and regulatory classification before filing a bond request.
Arriving Aliens and Immigration Judge Bond Jurisdiction
Why Immigration Judges generally lack custody-redetermination jurisdiction over arriving aliens and how that differs from ordinary INA §236(a) bond review.
arriving-alien-bond analysis treats arriving alien immigration bond jurisdiction as a distinct custody issue whose answer depends on the governing detention statute, jurisdiction, and procedural posture.
arriving-alien-bond preparation should identify whether the case is under §236(a), §236(c), or §241, and should build a custody record separate from the removal merits record.
