11 days in is a little too soon to tell, but if we’re anticipating that additional hurdle we should say so. And also explain why an appeal to the BIA won’t work to keep them here if they’re a year away from approval.

Yes, it's still early days. But not so early that massive changes haven't hit.
E.g., in Dallas Imm. Ct., ERO agents now patrol inside the courthouse. ICE is sending letters to people with pending asylum cases in court, and who were paroled. When they show up to ICE, they're arrested.
Yes, but you need to point to the legal err you're appealing.
If you don't have a defense available (e.g., asylum, 42b, etc.), your appeal is going to be over very quickly. And remember that a removal order affirmed by the BIA and appealed to the Cir. Ct. is final, so can be executed by ICE.
According to local reporting here in Dallas, the Dallas ICE office has a quota of 75 arrests per day. It seems ICE knows that people trying to cooperate, who are in removal proceedings fighter their asylum case, and were paroled in b/c they're not dangerous, will come to their office.
I have a client who is a grandmother that was detained on Friday. She has no criminal record, was paroled by ICE, and is waiting for her first hearing scheduled in a few months.
Her bond case will likely be trivial to win, but ICE-ERO doesn't care-they got a quota to meet!
