Undocumented immigrants denied bond hearings as California fights Trump detention policy
Apr 6, 2026·Location: Sacramento, CA

California Attorney General Rob Bonta continues leading a multistate coalition challenging the Trump administration's no-bond detention policy, which mandates indefinite detention of undocumented immigrants without bond hearings or consideration of individual circumstances. The coalition has filed six amicus briefs arguing the policy violates due process rights and congressional intent, and has contributed to record detention levels in often overcrowded and unsafe facilities.
