After spending 12 weeks in prison when US President Donald Trump ordered the new immigration policy, 5 of the 52 immigrants detained at the Sheridan prison in Oregon, were released on bail. Most of the immigrants are Sikhs and have received logistical assistance from the Innovation Law Lab, American Civil Liberties Union and Sikh volunteers in the region. More releases are likely soon. Thereupon, those released would be eligible to apply for regular asylum.
