A U.S. appeals court rules that the Trump administration may not hold certain migrants in detention without bond hearings beyond 90 days. The decision limits how long migrants can remain detained under policies that provide detention without an individualized bond determination for longer periods. The ruling comes from a federal circuit court and addresses the legal requirements for continued detention, including whether due process requires bond hearings after a set timeframe.
The sources report that Circuit Judge Cory Wilson, a Trump-appointed judge, dissents. In his dissent, Wilson argues that the majority’s approach marginalizes the Constitution’s role in assigning Congress plenary authority over immigration matters. The disagreement reflects a broader dispute over the balance between immigration enforcement and constitutional protections for detainees.
Overall, the case centers on whether immigration detention can continue past 90 days without bond hearings and how constitutional and statutory authority should be applied to detention decisions.
