Trump-appointed judge joins ruling against migrant detention policy
A Trump-appointed judge, Aaron Bress, joined a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against the Trump administration's policy of detaining migrants without bond hearings. The court found the administration misinterpreted a 1996 law, which could impact millions of undocumented migrants. The decision adds to a split among federal courts on the issue, increasing the likelihood of a Supreme Court ruling.
