Mandatory detention

Mandatory detention refers to the policy where certain individuals, often migrants or asylum seekers, are required by law to be held in custody without the option of bail or release while their legal status is determined. This practice is commonly implemented in various countries to manage immigration and maintain border security. Critics argue that it can lead to human rights concerns, as individuals may be detained for extended periods without trial. Proponents believe it is necessary to uphold the integrity of immigration laws and ensure that individuals comply with legal proceedings.
