On January 29, 2025, President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act. This law will require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to mandatorily detain anyone who entered the United States unlawfully and is then charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admitted to committing:
Mandatory detention means that an individual will be detained at an immigration detention facility without the ability to request a bond. Instead, they will remain detained while they fight their case against deportation before an Immigration Judge.
We do not yet know whether this law will be applied retroactively and affect people with a prior criminal history.
If you believe this law might apply to you, consult with an experienced immigration attorney right away to understand how this might affect you and your family. For more information on the Laken Riley Act, please reach out to Kolko & Casey, P.C. at (303) 371-1822.

*****************************************
Esta ley requerirá que el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) detenga obligatoriamente a cualquier persona que haya ingresado ilegalmente a los Estados Unidos y luego sea acusada, arrestada, condenada, o admitida por haber cometido:
La detención obligatoria significa que una persona será detenida en un centro de detención de inmigrantes sin la posibilidad de solicitar una fianza. En cambio, permanecerá detenida mientras lucha contra la deportación ante un Juez de Inmigración.
Todavía no sabemos si esta ley se aplicará de manera retroactiva y afectará a las personas con antecedentes penales previos.
Si cree que esta ley se puede aplicar a su caso, consulte con un abogado de inmigración experimentado de inmediato para comprender cómo esto podría afectarlo a usted y a su familia. Para obtener más información sobre la Ley Laken Riley, comuníquese con Kolko & Casey, P.C. al (303) 371-1822.
