- Ninth Circuit rejects Trump’s ‘no bail’ immigration detention policy
The Ninth Circuit Court ruled against the Trump administration's policy requiring mandatory detention without bail for unauthorized immigrants apprehended in the U.S. interior. The 2-1 decision upheld a lower court ruling, stating the policy conflicts with legal precedents and language of immigration statutes. The ruling does not apply to immigrants arrested at the border or those with criminal offenses.
