- Appeals court reverses decision on immigrant detention, leaving no-bond policy in place
A federal appeals court reversed a previous decision requiring bond hearings for immigrants held under the Trump administration’s mandatory detention policy. This allows many immigration prisoners to remain detained indefinitely without bond in detention centers in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will rehear the case in September, while the Supreme Court has agreed to address a related case next October.
