   President Donald Trump’s administration can continue to detain immigrants   
   without bond, marking a major legal victory for the federal immigration   
   agenda and countering a slew of recent lower court decisions across the   
   country that argued the practice is illegal.   
      
   A panel of judges on the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Friday   
   evening that the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to deny bond   
   hearings to immigrants arrested across the country is consistent with the   
   constitution and federal immigration law.   
      
   Specifically, circuit judge Edith H. Jones wrote in the 2-1 majority   
   opinion that the government correctly interpreted the Immigration and   
   Nationality Act by asserting that “unadmitted aliens apprehended anywhere   
   in the United States are ineligible for release on bond, regardless of how   
   long they have resided inside the United States.”   
      
   Under past administrations, most noncitizens with no criminal record who   
   were arrested away from the border had an opportunity to request a bond   
   hearing while their cases wound through immigration court. Historically,   
   bond was often granted to those without criminal convictions who were not   
   flight risks, and mandatory detention was limited to recent border   
   crossers.   
      
   “That prior Administrations decided to use less than their full   
   enforcement authority under” the law “does not mean they lacked the   
   authority to do more,” Jones wrote.   
      
   The plaintiffs in the two separate cases filed last year against the Trump   
   administration were both Mexican nationals who had both lived in the   
   United States for over 10 years and weren’t flight risks, their attorneys   
   argued. Neither man had a criminal record, and both were jailed for months   
   last year before a lower Texas court granted them bond in October.   
      
   The Trump White House reversed that policy in favor of mandatory detention   
   in July, reversing almost 30 years of precedent under both Democrat and   
   Republican administrations.   
      
   Friday’s ruling also bucks a November district court decision in   
   California, which granted detained immigrants with no criminal history the   
   opportunity to request a bond hearing and had implications for noncitizens   
   held in detention nationwide.   
      
   Circuit Judge Dana M. Douglas wrote the lone dissent in Friday’s decision.   
      
   The elected congress members who passed the Immigration and Nationality   
   Act “would be surprised to learn it had also required the detention   
   without bond of two million people,” Douglas wrote, adding that many of   
   the people detained are “the spouses, mothers, fathers, and grandparents   
   of American citizens.”   
      
   She went on to argue that the federal government was overriding the   
   lawmaking process with DHS’ new immigration detention policy that denies   
   detained immigrants bond.   
      
   “Because I would reject the government’s invitation to rubber stamp its   
   proposed legislation by executive fiat, I dissent,” Douglas wrote.   
      
   Douglas’ opinion echoed widespread tensions between the Trump   
   administration and federal judges around the country, who have   
   increasingly accused the administration of flouting court orders.   
      
   U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi celebrated the decision as “a significant   
   blow against activist judges who have been undermining our efforts to make   
   America safe again at every turn.”   
      
   “We will continue vindicating President Trump’s law and order agenda in   
   courtrooms across the country,” Bondi wrote on the social media platform   
   X.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
