An asylum seeker is initially detained in a holding facility by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). How long does an asylum seeker remain in immigration detention?  The amount of time an asylum seeker may stay in immigration detention can vary. Once an individual is found to have a credible fear of return, the government may be able to assess some individuals for parole (see below) using a set of criteria for potential release from detention or placement into an alternative detention. Other asylum seekers may receive a bond hearing (and receive bonds too high to pay). Many will remain in detention for the duration of their case, often lasting many months or even years What does it mean to be paroled?  After an “arriving” asylum seeker – those apprehended at the ports of entry – passes the credible fear screening process and is put into removal proceedings, he or she can be assessed for potential release on parole from detention. Parole authority is a longstanding part of the immigration system and is consistent with statute and Congressional intent in existing immigration laws. Current parole guidelines direct that in each assessment, the government verifies identity and determines that an individual does not pose a flight risk or danger to the community. If there is a need for additional supervision or monitoring to assure appearance at court hearings, ICE can utilize effective alternatives to detention (see below). What are alternatives to detention? Are alternatives to detention successful in meeting the government’s needs?  The government may utilize a range of alternatives to detention, similar to alternatives used in criminal justice systems, for immigrants in removal proceedings. Alternatives to detention include electronic monitoring, telephonic or inperson reporting requirements and other tools in order to support appearances in immigration court and removal proceedings. Alternatives, including community-based support programs, have been reported to be successful in achieving high rates of compliance."
