Camp 57

The Trump administration is seeking to reinstate mandatory detention for three immigrants by asking an appeals court to reverse a prior decision that allowed them bond hearings. The court case challenges a policy requiring immigrants who crossed the border illegally to be detained indefinitely, with arguments highlighting the strain on legal resources and the harsh conditions in detention facilities.

The Trump administration is urging the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to detain three immigrants freed by Texas judges, arguing that a surge of court cases freeing immigrants violates the mandatory detention policy.

The full appeals court will hear the case in September.
