Who gets due process? Inside the fight over immigration bond hearings at Adelanto
About this episode
The episode explores the increase in immigration bond denials at the Adelanto ICE detention center and follows the case of a 70-year-old street vendor's struggle for release.
Immigration bond denials have jumped sharply under the second Trump administration — nowhere more than at the Adelanto ICE detention center in Southern California. On this week's Imperfect Paradise: LAist's Jared Bennett follows the case of a 70-year-old L.A. street vendor held at Adelanto for six months, what it took for his family to get him released, and what immigration advocates say is behind the shift in bond denials.
