Fifth Circuit curbs 90-day migrant detention without bond review
The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that ICE cannot detain migrants for more than 90 days without a bond hearing, potentially affecting thousands detained in Texas, Louisiana and other states within the court’s reach. The majority tied the policy to due process protections, while a dissent criticized excessive executive authority on immigration matters. The Department of Homeland Security said it disagrees with the ruling, and the case follows ongoing disputes over mandatory detention.
