The settlement in the Cancino Castellar v. Mayorkas case ensures that immigrants held in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody in San Diego and Imperial Counties will have prompt first appearances before immigration judges. This settlement addresses systemic delays in processing individuals arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), including Border Patrol. Key provisions of the settlement include providing written notice of the right to a prompt first appearance, ensuring first appearances within 11 days of entering ICE custody, processing individuals out of Border Patrol custody within three days, and providing bond hearings promptly upon request. This settlement upholds constitutional due process rights and aims to prevent prolonged detention without access to judicial proceedings, improving conditions for immigrants in custody and their families.
Listen to this quote:
“The Constitution protects everyone in the United States, and nobody should ever be imprisoned simply because of where they were born. As the never-ending cycle of vilifying immigrants by both major political parties repeats itself again, now is the time to step up to protect the due process rights of our immigrant communities.”

So in other words, they expect alot more people to break the law so they need a speedy process not to DEPORT them, but to put them in jail to be bonded out, faster.
