Flouting Trump policy, federal judges are freeing immigrants from mandatory detention
Federal judges are releasing immigrants detained under the Trump administration's mandatory detention policy, citing constitutional concerns. The Supreme Court will soon decide the policy's legality after lower courts, including Republican-appointed judges, increasingly order releases. Gilberto Pacheco, detained for months without bond despite no criminal charges, was freed by a judge who ruled his detention unconstitutional.
