Benitez will remain in custody at the Campbell County Detention Center during the 30-day window in which the U.S. Department of Homeland Security attorneys can file an appeal.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Thursday\u2019s bond hearing came just over a week after the Ohio-based 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Trump administration\u2019s year-old policy requiring mandatory detention for most immigrants facing removal. Benitez\u2019s attorney, Milwaukee-based Marc Christopher, told Wisconsin Watch that the short turnaround reflected agreement among Benitez\u2019s legal team, a federal district court judge and DHS itself that her case merited speedy consideration.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Original story, May 12, 2026:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Sheboygan Falls woman is poised to test a new federal ruling reopening the door for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees to seek release on bond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Ohio-based federal appeals court ruled May 11 against the Trump administration policy requiring mandatory detention for most ICE detainees, the latest blow to a rule adopted last summer amid an escalating nationwide immigration enforcement crackdown.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detainees \u201cshould have a forum to explain that their backgrounds and connections to their communities justify release on bond while they undergo their removal proceedings,\u201d 6th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Eric Clay wrote in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov\/opinions.pdf\/26a0139p-06.pdf\">panel\u2019s majority decision<\/a>. Denying bond hearings, he added, amounts to a violation of their due process rights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court\u2019s ruling sent Wisconsin immigration attorneys scrambling to file bond motions for their clients detained in Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky \u2014 all under the 6th Circuit. Among those now able to seek bond: Elvira Benitez Suarez, currently detained at the Campbell County Detention Center in northern Kentucky.<br><br>Benitez, 51, has now spent two stints in ICE detention, <a href=\"https:\/\/wisconsinwatch.org\/2026\/03\/ice-re-arrests-sheboygan-falls-mother-after-judge-halted-deportation-and-cleared-green-card-path\/\">as Wisconsin Watch has reported<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She fled an abusive household in Mexico at 15, crossing the border with a younger sibling and settling in the Midwest. Though she remained undocumented for decades, she had no run-ins with law enforcement or immigration authorities until a GPS error on a family road trip through Michigan in July 2025 led her across the Canadian border.<br><br>The incident landed her in an Ohio immigration detention facility for six months. In her absence, her two adult daughters \u2014 both U.S. citizens \u2014 took in their school-age siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A major shift in federal immigration court policy last year left Benitez unable to post bond.<br><br>Since 1996, federal law has required immigration authorities to detain \u2014 without bond \u2014 anyone found crossing the U.S. border without authorization. Prior administrations applied that rule relatively narrowly, meaning immigrants arrested in the interior of the U.S. could often seek a bond hearing in immigration court.<br><br>The Trump administration cast that precedent aside in July 2025, when ICE Director Todd Lyons issued a new interpretation subjecting anyone in deportation proceedings to mandatory detention without the possibility of bond. The Board of Immigration Appeals, a panel of judges who set the rules for the federal immigration court system, signed off on the interpretation in September.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The board has more frequently sided with the Department of Homeland Security than immigrants facing deportation for at least a decade, but the distribution of decisions is more lopsided than ever: The body has favored DHS\u2019s position in more than 90% of decisions issued since President Trump returned to office last year, a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2026\/03\/20\/nx-s1-5707535\/trump-immigration-detention-appeals-board-deportation\">NPR analysis<\/a> found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rule change triggered an ongoing legal battle over the validity of the Trump administration\u2019s interpretation; more than 400 federal district court judges have ruled against the White House\u2019s position, while roughly 50 have backed the new policy. Judges in Wisconsin\u2019s Western District Court have uniformly ruled against the mandatory detention rule, while those in Wisconsin\u2019s Eastern District are divided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal appellate courts are also split: Aside from the 6th Circuit\u2019s May 11 decision, the New York-based 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and the Georgia-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals have ruled against the mandatory detention policy, whereas the Louisiana-based 5th Circuit and the Missouri-based 8th Circuit have sided with the Trump administration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Illinois and with jurisdiction over Wisconsin, remains divided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With bond off the table, thousands of immigrants in ICE custody have turned to a backup option: habeas corpus petitions, filed in federal district courts \u2014 administered separately from the federal immigration court system \u2014 to challenge their detention.<br><br>Federal district courts have received <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/habeas-tracker\/?_gl=1*6kgxfl*_ga*MjA3OTczNDM3LjE3NjgyNDIyODk.*_ga_K9RW8M6GL5*czE3NzA5MTY1MzYkbzMkZzEkdDE3NzA5MTY1NTIkajQ0JGwwJGgw\">tens of thousands of habeas petitions<\/a> in the past year, including more than 70 <a href=\"https:\/\/wisconsinwatch.org\/2026\/03\/wisconsin-immigrants-ice-immigration-detention-federal-appeals-court-jail-bond\/\">in Wisconsin\u2019s Western and Eastern District Courts<\/a> combined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a federal district court approves a habeas petition, the court generally orders an immigration court judge to hold a bond hearing.<br><br>Benitez\u2019s first habeas petition produced a more unusual victory: Judge Richard Drucker of the Cleveland immigration court, citing the emotional toll on her younger children, canceled her deportation and set her on the path to legal residency, though a delayed background check added more than a month to Benitez\u2019s initial stay in a detention facility.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wisconsinwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/asseIMG_7211.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"A person stands behind a table with three pink decorated cakes, surrounded by balloons, floral arrangements and a banner reading &quot;HAPPY BIRTHDAY&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-1312574\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Elvira Benitez is shown at a birthday party. (Courtesy of Crystal Aguilar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Released in late December, Benitez reunited with her family in Wisconsin while DHS appealed Drucker\u2019s order. She continued attending mandatory check-ins at the agency\u2019s field office in downtown Milwaukee, where ICE agents re-arrested her on March 10. After a stop at an ICE detention facility outside Chicago, the agency transferred Benitez to Campbell County, where nearly two dozen immigrants detained in Wisconsin have spent time within the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marc Christopher, a Milwaukee immigration attorney who represented Benitez during her first detention, told Wisconsin Watch in March that no statute required DHS to detain her while awaiting the outcome of its appeal. Her arrest, Christopher wrote, served \u201cno legitimate public safety purpose.\u201d<br><br>\u201cIt separates a mother from her vulnerable U.S. citizen children despite a federal immigration judge already recognizing the extreme hardship her removal would cause them,\u201d he added.<br><br>Following the March arrest, an ICE spokesperson told Wisconsin Watch that \u201cbeing in detention is a choice,\u201d arguing that Benitez could leave custody by agreeing to self-deport.<br><br>Benitez\u2019s new Ohio-based attorney filed a habeas petition on her behalf with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky in March. Judge Chad Meredith, a Trump appointee, joined the court\u2019s bench last fall. He has received more than 80 habeas cases involving immigrants in ICE custody since his confirmation, most of which are still active; he has yet to side with an immigrant detainee, but he has denied a half-dozen habeas petitions outright.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 6th Circuit\u2019s latest ruling could give Benitez a shorter route out of custody. Christopher filed a bond motion for Benitez \u201cthe minute (the ruling) came out,\u201d he told Wisconsin Watch. \u201cGiven the unusual circumstances of her case,\u201d Christopher added, he plans to ask Meredith to order a bond hearing on a short turnaround, rather than waiting more than a week. DHS can appeal bond decisions.<br><br>Christopher isn\u2019t alone in his haste. Aissa Olivarez, an attorney with the Madison-based Community Immigration Law Center, filed a bond motion for another client held at the Campbell County Detention Center just after the news broke \u2014 a first since the Board of Immigration Appeals approved the mandatory detention rule last September.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are now working to identify other people who have reached out in the past,\u201d she added, \u201cto see who might be eligible for bond now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olivarez and other immigration attorneys are still awaiting a decision from the 7th Circuit; the U.S. Department of Justice filed a motion requesting expedited oral argument&nbsp; on Monday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue may reach the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s up to the justices whether they want to take the case,\u201d Christopher said, \u201cbut traditionally on cases involving immigration, cases where there\u2019s been a clear circuit split, and where it affects literally tens of thousands of people, I think it\u2019s going to be near the top of the issues they want to resolve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Sheboygan Falls woman tested a federal appeals court ruling against a Trump administration policy barring many ICE detainees from seeking release on bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":2811,"featured_media":159911,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_content_restriction_is_exempt":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"A Sheboygan Falls woman woman tested a federal appeals court ruling against a Trump administration policy barring many ICE detainees from seeking release on bond.
