We know that cash bail or intrusive monitoring aren't needed to get people to turn up for court dates (Brooklyn Bail Fund has great stats on % of people who turn up -- the best intervention is literally giving clients a prepaid cellphone and a court date reminder).
There is a wider call for abolition of detention that needs to happen. It isn't just the immigration system that separates children from parents; the carceral domestic criminal justice system also forces guilty plea bargains from parents trying to avoid having kids taken.
