detention hearings
Pretrial custody decisions
Detention hearings are court proceedings to determine whether someone should be held in custody while awaiting trial or further legal action.
In criminal cases, a judge weighs flight risk, danger to the community, and likelihood of appearing for future court dates: The defendant was remanded after the detention hearing.
In immigration law, detention hearings decide whether non-citizens will be held or released pending deportation proceedings.
