US EditionSecond US appeals court upholds Trump's immigration detention policy
The Eighth Circuit's 2-1 ruling allows mandatory detention of undocumented immigrants without bond, impacting over 1,000 cases in Minnesota and aligning with the Fifth Circuit decision.
- On Wednesday, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 decision allowing the Trump administration to detain immigrants without bond hearings, overturning a prior lower court ruling.
- The case centers on Joaquin Herrera Avila, a Mexican national arrested in Minneapolis last August for lacking legal documentation, challenging a policy that previously allowed long-term residents bond hearings.
- U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen estimated that approximately 80% of the more than 1,000 habeas filings in Minnesota federal courts hinged on this legal issue, while Circuit Judge Ralph Erickson dissented.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi lauded the decision as a triumph over "activist" judges, but immigration attorney David Wilson, representing Avila, called the outcome "disappointing."
- This ruling follows a similar Fifth Circuit decision earlier this year, with legal experts anticipating that the U.S. Supreme Court will likely need to resolve the appellate court conflict.
