- Decision on the constitutionality of detention without bond for some immigrants postponed
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals initially ruled the Trump administration’s policy of detaining immigrants without bond unconstitutional but later voted to rehear the case en banc, canceling the prior decision. The case involves three immigrants in Texas who challenged their detention, and the rehearing could affect thousands in detention in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
