10th Circuit rules bail cannot be denied for immigrant status

The panel said detention decisions must be case by case under the Bail Reform Act and cannot rely on potential deportation. The decision, the first of its kind in the 10th Circuit, addresses use of ICE detainers in evaluating flight risk.
