Appeals Court Sides With Administration On Immigrants

An appeals court has ruled that the U.S. can continue to detain immigrants without bond. The ruling Wednesday handed a victory to the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration. The opinion from a panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis overturned a lower court ruling. The latter ruling required that a native of Mexico arrested for lacking legal documents be given a bond hearing before an immigration judge. It’s the second appeals court to rule in favor of the administration on this issue. Both appeals court opinions counter a slew of lower court decisions across the country saying the practice is illegal.
