@jimpatriot6918 "Are asylum seekers detained while waiting for a credible
fear interview?
Yes. 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."
