Michelle Malkin » Newark case update: Judge defends illegal alien Carranza bail decision

Michelle Malkin » Newark case update: Judge defends illegal alien Carranza bail decision:

"While the report recommends placing bail determinations on the formal record to
avoid confusion in future cases, it concludes the judge’s actions were
appropriate. “Carranza was entitled to a reasonable bail that would ensure his
presence at trial on serious charges,” D’Italia’s report states. “In fact, he
appeared when required at two hearings subsequent to posting bail. Thus, the
‘primary purpose of bail’ under the New Jersey Constitution was satisfied.”"


The question this is, do you lock a person up because they are not here legally and hold them for trial or do you give them the same rights that others would receive under the justice system. It isn't clear to me which is right, a person here illegally is breaking the law, and for that the person should be held argue voices on the right. The other side of that is that there is no reason to assume that they are going to commit a crime while out on bail just because they are illegal.
