Learn from Kevin A. Gregg, a partner at Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt and host of the Immigration Review Podcast, and Commission on Immigration Chair, Michelle Jacobson, about the significant implications of the Laken Riley Act, which requires mandatory detention for certain noncitizens even without the conviction of any crime. The conversation explores the consequences of taking decision-making power away from judges and disallowing prosecutorial discretion or mitigating evidence when determining who is detained in immigration custody.
