Well here’s the story…..
People who have lived in America fro YEARS and are working within the immigration system to become legal are scooped up and detained as Trump/Miller’s was dentition ‘mass dentention ‘policy…
Most Federal Appeals courts have ruled AGAINST the policy , which they say, is in violation of a 1990s immigration law that allowed broad groups of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to be able to ask an immigration judge for them to be released on bond after being arrested by ICE.
Some Appeal’s courts have ruled Trump can do the policy in their region…
Most Federal judges and Appeals Courts continue to rule against Trump disregarding the that law in theirs…..
Last year Trump got the Supreme’s to kneecap one region’s Federal Courts from making rulings for the entire country…
So?
Trump/Miller are ignoring the Federal Appeals Court that rule against them….
This IS going end up before the Supreme’s until the next President decides if he wants to follow the actual law…..
A federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected the Trump administration’s policy of making many of the immigrants it is trying to deport subject to mandatory detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including those who have lived in the U.S. for years.
A panel of judges from the New York-based 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals called the policy the “broadest mass-detention-without-bond mandate in our Nation’s history for millions of noncitizens.”
The panel wrote that the Trump administration’s interpretation of mandatory immigration detention would “send a seismic shock through our immigration detention system and society, straining our already overcrowded detention infrastructure, incarcerating millions, separating families, and disrupting communities.”
The ruling creates a judicial divide over the mass ICE detention policy. While most judges across the country have declared the policy illegal, the 5th Circuit and 8th Circuit Courts of Appeals, based in Louisiana and Missouri, respectively, have endorsed the Trump administration’s interpretation of mandatory detention. The 2nd Circuit’s decision applies to Connecticut, New York and Vermont.
Tuesday’s opinion was written by U.S. Circuit Judge Joseph Bianco, an appointee of President Trump, who was joined by Clinton appointee Jose Cabranes and Biden appointee Alison Nathan.
Last year, the Trump administration reinterpreted a 1990s immigration law to disqualify broad groups of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally from having the ability to ask an immigration judge to be released on bond after being arrested by ICE.
Previously, undocumented immigrants who had lived in the U.S. for years were generally eligible for bond hearings and could seek to convince an immigration judge that they should be allowed to fight their deportation outside of a detention center because they were not flight risks or threats to public safety.
Mandatory detention had previously been largely limited to those who had recently entered the U.S. illegally, including along the southern border, as well as detainees convicted of certain crimes.
But the Trump administration has taken the position that anyone who entered the U.S. illegally, irrespective of how long ago, is subject to mandatory detention while their deportation cases are decided.
The sweeping policy change has led ICE to indefinitely hold detainees who entered the U.S. illegally years or even decades ago and who previously would have been eligible for bond, including those without criminal records beyond alleged civil immigration violations….
Note…
And you wonder why Senate Democrats are in NO hurry to fund ICE/CBP if they , under Trump/Miller’s orders are disregarding Federal Laws?
