    Ruling blocks over 21,000 prior release orders, heads toward SCOTUS

    Reporting noted the decision chokes off the due-process argument lower-court judges had used in more than 21,150 rulings against detention, and that the case will likely reach the Supreme Court amid a deep circuit split — at least nine circuits have rejected the administration's reading while only the 8th Circuit has upheld it.

    “Big win in the Fifth Circuit on mandatory detention for illegal aliens, a principle codified in 1996 legislation but ignored by the deep state for decades…”
    — James Percival

    • BREAKING: The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that illegal aliens detained by ICE DO NOT have a constitutional right to receive bond for the duration of their immigration proceedings. MAJOR WIN

      Immigrants who entered the country illegally don’t have a right to seek bond while they're in custody and going through deportation proceedings, even if they’ve set roots in the U.S., a federal appeals court ruled Friday. https://www. houstonpublicmedia.org/article…

    Fifth Circuit rules the Constitution does not require bond hearings

    The full 17-member Fifth Circuit, voting 10-7 (9-judge majority plus a concurrence in the result, versus 7 dissenters), ruled in Sosnava Rodriguez v. Ortega that three men who entered the U.S. unlawfully and were never admitted have no Fifth Amendment right to bond hearings beyond what Congress has provided.

    “Due process does not entitle them to additional proceedings beyond what Congress has provided before they may be detained pending removal.”
    — Judge Cory Wilson
  3. background

    Supreme Court agrees to review the broader detention dispute — The justices agreed to take up Rhoney v. Barbosa da Cunha, which will decide whether federal law requires the government to detain people who entered illegally and were never admitted; arguments are set for Nov. 4 with a ruling expected by June.

  4. background

    Fifth Circuit panel upholds detention policy as statutory matter — A three-judge Fifth Circuit panel first upheld the Trump administration's policy of treating long-resident illegal immigrants as people "seeking admission," a category subject to mandatory detention without bond hearings. Lower-court judges in the circuit continued ordering releases on constitutional due-process grounds.
