A federal appeals court ordered ICE to hold bond hearings for long-term detainees within 90 days, rolling back the agency's expanded detention authority. The ruling marks another legal loss for Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement.
A federal appeals court ruled that ICE must hold bond hearings for long-term detainees within 90 days, effectively reversing the agency's ability to hold immigrants indefinitely without a hearing. The court imposed a hard deadline and explicit process. This is a legal loss for the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement approach.
ICE had been operating under expanded detention authority that allowed it to keep people locked up for extended periods with minimal oversight. The appeals court decision strips that away and restores a requirement for periodic review. It's one of the few judicial wins against the administration's immigration machinery so far, and it directly constrains what ICE can do operationally.
