Flouting Trump policy, federal judges are freeing immigrants from mandatory detention
Federal judges are releasing immigrants held under a Trump administration policy requiring mandatory detention for illegal border crossers. The Supreme Court will review the policy next year after conflicting rulings from appeals courts. Gilberto Pacheco, an immigrant detained for months despite no criminal charges, was freed by a judge who ruled his detention unconstitutional.
