Full Fifth Circuit upholds no-bond detention policy for immigrants

The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled Friday, in a split decision, that immigrants who entered the U.S. without lawful admission have no constitutional right to a bond hearing while held during deportation proceedings, upholding a Trump administration mandatory detention policy. Judge Cory Wilson wrote the majority opinion; seven judges dissented. The case involved three men who had each lived in the U.S. for more than a decade. Nine of 11 federal appeals courts to address the policy have ruled against the administration, and the Supreme Court agreed earlier this month to hear a related case.
