Habeas Victory in Colorado: Andrade de Zarate v. Choate
"Ms. Andrade has been in custody at the Aurora Detention Facility for over 14 months. ... Ms. Andrade claims that her detention without a bond hearing has become unconstitutionally prolonged. ... [T]he Court finds that Ms. Andrade’s detention for over fourteen months without a bond hearing violates her Due Process rights under the Fifth Amendment. ... ORDERED that respondents shall hold an individualized bond hearing before an impartial immigration judge within ten days to determine whether Ms. Andrade should be released on conditions."
