Immigration移民法

IWhat Changed变化内容

In Matter of Yajure Hurtado, 29 I&N Dec. 216 (BIA 2025), the Board held that a noncitizen who entered without inspection is an applicant for admission detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A), even after years of residence in the United States, so immigration judges lack jurisdiction to grant bond. The Second Circuit rejected that reading in Barbosa da Cunha v. Freden, No. 25-3141 (2d Cir. Apr. 28, 2026), holding that such individuals are detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and are entitled to a bond hearing. Most circuits have reached the same result; the Fifth and Eighth Circuits have accepted the government's position. The Supreme Court granted review on October 1, 2026.在Yajure Hurtado案(29 I&N Dec. 216,BIA 2025)中,移民上诉委员会认定:无证入境者即使已在美国居住多年,仍属依《美国法典》第8编第1225(b)(2)(A)条羁押的入境申请人,移民法官无权准予保释。第二巡回上诉法院在Barbosa da Cunha诉Freden案(案号25-3141,2026年4月28日)中否定了这一解释,认定此类人士系依第1226(a)条羁押,有权获得保释听证。多数巡回法院结论相同,第五及第八巡回法院则采纳了政府立场。最高法院于2026年10月1日决定受理审查。

IIAnalysis分析

Within New York, Connecticut and Vermont the Second Circuit's decision controls, but it binds federal courts, not immigration judges applying Board precedent. The route to a bond hearing for a long-term resident who entered without inspection therefore runs through a habeas corpus petition in federal district court. Because the Supreme Court will decide the question, relief obtained now may depend on the outcome there, and detention may also occur outside the circuit through transfer.在纽约、康涅狄格及佛蒙特,第二巡回法院的判决具有约束力,但其约束的是联邦法院,而非适用BIA先例的移民法官。因此,无证入境的长期居住者要获得保释听证,须向联邦地区法院提出人身保护令申请。由于最高法院将对此作出裁决,目前取得的救济可能取决于最终结果;当事人也可能被转移至本巡回区以外羁押。

IIIWhat To Do Now应对建议

Advise clients with a history of entry without inspection about detention risk at check-ins and interviews, and prepare identity, residence and family documents in advance. If a client is detained in the Second Circuit, act quickly on a habeas petition before transfer. Follow the Supreme Court's briefing and argument schedule.提醒有无证入境经历的客户在报到及面谈时存在被羁押的风险,并预先备齐身份、居住及家庭文件。客户在第二巡回区内被羁押的,应在被转移前尽快提出人身保护令申请。持续关注最高法院的诉状及辩论日程。
