Judge sets bail for illegal immigrant at an impossible $1 million cash so federal agents can?t deport him | National Post

On Thursday, Chief Deputy District Attorney Julie Hill asked for Reyes’ bail to be increased to $1 million in the state case, arguing if he weren’t in state custody ICE would deport him within a month. His next court appearance in the hit-and-run is scheduled for late April.

Judge Gilman said she’d seen enough cases where defendants were not tried because they had been deported. Reyes was taken into the custody of the sheriff’s department after Thursday’s hearing.

Myself I agree with this.
Your thoughts are????
 
Re: Judge sets bail for illegal immigrant at an impossible $1 million cash so federal

1.Excessive bail is illegal.See first part of the 8th amendment.

2.Judge should not be trying to undermine immigration law.

3.He should be deported as soon as he serves out his sentence for hit and run.

the problem with that is he won't serve out his sentence if he's deported. Probably was counting on being deported.

If as noted DHS deported him prior to trial, then DHS is undermining the Justice system.

I doubt the judge set the excessive bail because he wanted that illegal to not escape justice. Now if the judge said that the defendant has a prior history of fleeing the country before justice can be administered then that would be one thing.

Judge is female- Judge has seen them deported prior to trial by DHS. Reason why bail is high, returned to State custody

Greetings, JANFU. :2wave:

For a hit and run charge? - If this story is true, you bet I agree! :thumbs: The big downside of this, though, is that we'll be feeding and taking care of him at our expense for as long as he is incarcerated, and that fact I don't much like, although deporting him isn't fair to his victim's family either, and according to the link, he had already been deported once and illegally re-entered! :thumbdown:

True, and if convicted, he will eventually be deported and if he does, then back across the border.
I am surprised that DHS would/could be hell bent to deport given the charges

And ICE shouldn't be undermining our criminal justice system. While I doubt it is their intention, they are helping criminals avoid justice.
 
Re: Judge sets bail for illegal immigrant at an impossible $1 million cash so federal

I don't know that it is legal, but otherwise it sounds okay

One point was the 8th Amendment. My view is DHS is undermining the Justice system by deporting an alleged felon and for such a serious charge as killing someone.
 
Re: Judge sets bail for illegal immigrant at an impossible $1 million cash so federal

They can be remanded without bond.

Would they still be in custody of the State?? I do not know.

Yes, remanded means the person is held or placed in detention if they are on probation.
 
Re: Judge sets bail for illegal immigrant at an impossible $1 million cash so federal

Just my humble opinion, but it should be standard procedure to put a deportation on hold if the person is charged with a crime and in custody. It baffles me that this is even a question.

This is the reason federal magistrates usually hold illegals in Marshal custody without bond. DHS is in quite a pickle if a judge sets a low bond and then the alien is released back onto the U.S. streets. Think of the liability and shaming coming DHS' way for letting a suspected criminal illegal hurt someone in a new crime instead of deporting them.

This is not a situation that DHS enjoys to be in at all, but agents are not supposed to weigh in on state criminal cases concerning bond hearings other than to say, "It is the intent of the federal government to place the alien into federal custody for deportation proceedings if he is released from state custody." The purpose of bond is to insure that person returns to court for trial. If the alien is deported, that insures that the alien WON'T return to trial, so a good judge will just say, "No bond."

And what should the feds do? Let a potentially violent illegal alien roam around the USA? This is the fault of judges and a bit of fault of the prosecutor if he/she isn't explaining the situation to the court properly.

He isn't. He is trying to uphold law.

DHS was deporting before trail dates. I never said a word that he should be out on parole. I stated he should be in jail, then go to trial.

On the other hand, we do not have to pay for courts and jailing him.

No they aren't they are sending people back where they belong. that is justice.
now he is going to sit in prison at the cost to taxpayers.
 
Re: Judge sets bail for illegal immigrant at an impossible $1 million cash so federal

You mean Mexico wouldn't honor the charges and put him on trial once deported? Shocked by that i tell you

What will be amusing is if his lawyers appeal the bail amount and it gets reduced so that he can in fact be deported. If i were him, i wouldn't be in a hurry to accept any plea deals. That is, if he prefers deportation over jail
