5th Circuit orders bond hearings after 90 days of migrant detention

A divided 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that ICE cannot detain migrants for more than 90 days without offering a bond hearing, reinforcing due‑process protections. The decision could affect thousands detained under a Trump-era policy and comes as the administration faces ongoing legal questions over its interpretation of who qualifies for mandatory detention. The ruling also highlights the broader debate across courts about the scope of the government’s immigration authority and may prompt Supreme Court review.
