Increases in immigration in recent years have been fueled by immigrants chasing the “American Dream”. The United States continues to see an increase of immigrants every year, in order to solve this issue the United States has imposed deportation centers throughout the border. Esteban Aleman Gonzalez and Gutierrez Sanchez are natives and citizens of Mexico, who have previously illegally crossed to the United States seeking asylum to escape persecution and torture in Mexico. Gonzalez and Sanchez decided again to try to come back to the United States after being attacked in Mexico and detained by ICE. Currently, they have been detained for over 180 days, with no hope for the future outside these detention centers. The Supreme Court recently listened and is questioning whether a non-citizen who has spent more than six months in an immigration detention center waiting to hear from the deportations are entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge to determine if they will be able to be released on bond? This project brings attention and awareness of the prolonged detention that contradicts the due process by the 5th Amendment in the United States Constitution. While the plaintiffs are illegal immigrants, The Supreme Court has previously held that one is entitled to a judge when considering civil detentions on the grounds of whether their detention was justified. Many people spend years awaiting trial at detention centers awaiting asylum, in order to seek protection in the United States. In addition, the 1996 Immigration statute claimed that unauthorized immigrants “may” be placed in detention centers for a long period of time (The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996). Both the Trump and Biden Administration also agreed that they will be detained for as long as the cases need to be litigated. Given an opportunity to be on the Supreme Court Panel, it is important that The United States needs to find a way to make sure these immigrants are being heard but also have a plan for future occurrences, life detention should not their main focus as it is inhumane but also there is hope with this case that allows for the Supreme Court to listen to the pleas of those seeking asylum.
