New ruling against mandatory detention is another blow to Trump immigration policy

A U.S. appeals court ruled 2-1 that immigrants detained for crossing the border illegally must receive a bond hearing within 90 days, challenging the Trump administration’s mandatory detention policy. The decision affects Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, where many New Yorkers are transferred after arrest. The Department of Homeland Security opposes the ruling, which aligns with broader judicial pushback against the policy.
