US EditionSecond US appeals court upholds Trump's immigration detention policy
The ruling allows mandatory detention of noncitizens without bond in seven states, impacting over 400 lawsuits filed in Minnesota alone, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
- A divided three-judge panel ruled that the Department of Homeland Security is legally justified in detaining certain migrants indefinitely without the possibility of a bond hearing while they await deportation proceedings.
- The decision specifically reverses a lower court's attempt to grant a habeas corpus petition for a Mexican citizen detained in Minneapolis, effectively expanding the government's authority to use mandatory detention across seven states.
- In a sharp dissent, Judge Ralph Erickson argued that the majority relied on a "novel interpretation" of existing law that contradicts decades of legal precedent and could subject millions of people to mandatory detention.
- The ruling affects seven states within the 8th Circuit's jurisdiction while aligning with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals but conflicting with the 7th Circuit, often signaling cases headed to the Supreme Court.
