Asher is a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of immigration detainees in Washington State who are unlawfully subject to mandatory, no-bond detention. The lawsuit challenges the government's policy and practice of locking up immigrants in deportation proceedings without any chance for release on bail based on prior criminal convictions, even when they were released from criminal custody months or years ago, have turned their lives around, and are supporting their families.
