US court backs ICE power to hold immigrants without bond as deportation cases proceed
In a 10–7 decision, the Fifth Circuit ruled that some immigrants who entered the US without lawful admission may be detained without individual bond hearings.
A US court has ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can detain certain immigrants without bond throughout their deportation proceedings, upholding the Trump administration's expanded detention policy. The 10-7 ruling, which overturned lower court orders, determined that federal immigration law permits mandatory detention for people covered by the provision while their removal proceedings are ongoing.
The decision affects immigrants detained by ICE in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, eliminating the requirement for individual bond hearings under the provision in question. The ruling does not apply nationally, as separate challenges to the administration's interpretation of immigration law continue.
