- New ruling against mandatory detention is another blow to Trump immigration policy
A U.S. appeals court ruled 2-1 that immigrants arrested for crossing a 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 immigrants are transferred after arrest, and follows conflicting rulings from other courts, with the Supreme Court expected to review the policy in October.
