🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

Matter of Jonathan Javier YAJURE HURTADO, Respondent
Decided September 5, 2025
U.S. Department of Justice
Executive Office for Immigration Review
Board of Immigration Appeals
Based on the plain language of section 235(b)(2)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) (2018), Immigration Judges lack authority to hear bond
requests or to grant bond to aliens who are present in the United States without admission.

Christopher Kinnison, who owns a one-man law firm in the central Louisiana, is "tired of losing.” His clients are among the thousands of people who had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after President Trump took office.

A last lifeline in ‘detention alley’

Most of immigration lawyer Christopher Kinnison’s clients in rural Louisiana are detainees. Every week, more calls come in, and Kinnison hasn’t been able to process what his days at work are becoming.

Mind-boggling that DHS's official position on this case is genuinely that a US citizen dad from Albuquerque visiting family in Tucson went up to a Border Patrol agent and said "Hi, I'm a Mexican man who entered here illegally, please deport me." Do they think we are dumb?

The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully.

He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family.

This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo’s own actions and statements.
