Why federal court struck down Trump’s mass detention policy
A federal court ruled that the Trump administration’s mass detention policy for unauthorized immigrants is invalid, citing inconsistent treatment of border and interior detainees. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found the policy violates a 30-year precedent allowing bond hearings for interior detainees, leading to overcrowded detention centers and court backlogs. The 2-1 decision is expected to be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
