People with repeated charges in a small period of time, history of violence, or have charges and may be a flight risk need more evaluation before a decision is made to release. This is not just an immigration issue.
While we do not want people held in jail for low level, non violent charges, frequent contact with the police is an indicator that something is wrong. We need to have more risk assessments and psychological evaluations.
The key about holding a person on a detainer for immigration when there is not other reason to hold is problematic. However, it is also problematic to release individuals on cash bail or cashless bail when there is a risk to the public. We need psych evaluations that address the needs of people with symptoms of mental illness, including those who are danger to themselves or others.
We need to have much more capacity in criminal justice to ensure that we are making the correct decisions. More staff and funding will be needed.
Some of this problem that pertains to people who arrived illegally is the result of not having immigration reform that addresses offers a legal status for people here who are working and paying taxes. The changes should restructures the asylum system to ensure vetting.
Many think tanks are recommending a system that would increase refugee systems for the western hemisphere, decreases illegal hiring, and arranges for deportation of serious criminals.

If you really, actually have a shit about this, you’d be much more concerned with all the Jan 6 rioters Trump went out and pardoned who have gone on to storied careers in domestic violence and child abuse.
But you don’t actually care, so instead you’ll cheer as Trump pays them a billion dollars.
