Indian National Detained After Traffic Stop, Denied Bond Hearing

Jul 2, 2026·Location: Indianapolis, IN

Country of origin: India

An Indian citizen who entered the U.S. in 2018 without inspection was detained on July 2, 2026, following a traffic stop by Indiana State Police in Indianapolis. ICE determined he was eligible for removal proceedings and issued a warrant under 8 U.S.C. § 1226. He was placed in full removal proceedings but held at Clay County Jail without receiving a bond hearing. The court granted his habeas petition, ordering the government to either provide him an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge or release him within ten days.
