Fifth Circuit upholds mandatory immigration detention policy
TL;DR
A divided 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (2-1) upheld the Trump-era policy of detaining non-citizens arrested in immigration crackdowns without bond hearings, covering Texas and Louisiana. The ruling, the first appellate endorsement of the policy, comes despite hundreds of lower courts ruling it unlawful and could affect thousands of detainees as the issue may eventually reach the Supreme Court.
