Fifth Circuit: USA v. Baltazar-Sebastian


Court's order prohibiting a released detainee's subsequent detention, since it was enforcing an earlier magistrate's holding that the detainee be released, is not within the general immigration removal of jurisdiction.

The bail reform statute does not preclude the pre-removal detention of an alien subsequent to the alien's release under the statute.

Administrative regulations prohibiting a criminal defendant from leaving the country refer to voluntary departures.

The detention does not violate the separation of powers.

Court below did not make formal findings about how the distance that lawyers had to travel related to the Sixth Amendment rights of the deft.
