The Ninth Circuit has held that individuals in reinstatement proceedings (including withholding only proceedings before an Immigration Judge) are not entitled to bond hearings under section 236(a) of the INA.  The Court reaffirmed that these individuals are entitled to prolonged detention hearings under Diouf v. Napolitano.  The Court recognized that its decision creates a circuit split with the Second Circuit.
