ICE July 8 Memo Orders Detention Through Removal; Bond Hearings Curtailed Nationwide

Breitbart reports that a July 8 memo from Acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons directs detention of migrants for the duration of removal proceedings and limits access to bond hearings, shifting most release decisions to ICE parole authority. Legal advocates report bond denials across multiple immigration courts nationwide. The change appears backed by increased detention funding and signals a significant enforcement escalation likely to face court challenges.
