Federal judges across the U.S. are increasingly concluding that immigration bond hearings ordered by courts are fundamentally flawed and predetermined to result in detention, prompting some jurists to bypass the hearings entirely.


Judges have been finding that immigration judges working for the Trump administration are conducting proceedings designed to produce predetermined findings of "danger to the community" or "flight risk," according to court documents reviewed by Politico.

"Some federal judges have required do-overs," the outlet reported, "and others have grown so skeptical of the administration’s intentions that they’ve ordered detainees released outright."

Aren't they doing EXACTLY what they are bitching about immigration judges doing?  They are ruling against Trumps policies based on their beliefs instead of the law.

Doesn't Scotus ruling on '24-777 Urias-Orellana v. Bondi (03/04/2026)' tell these judges to take long walks off short piers?

Sanction the judges.

SCOTUS says otherwise...

Supreme Court Justice Jackson authors unanimous SCOTUS opinion handing Trump an immigration win

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling Wednesday ordering federal appeals courts to defer to immigration judges when reviewing asylum decisions, bolstering the executive branch's authority in immigration cases and handing the Trump administration a win as it pushes an aggressive deportation agenda.

Jackson, a Biden appointee and one of three liberal justices on the high court, wrote that immigration laws require federal courts to use a "substantial-evidence standard" when reviewing immigration judges’ decisions about whether an asylum seeker could face "persecution" if deported.

Jackson emphasized the high bar courts must meet before overturning an immigration judge’s findings, potentially making it more difficult for migrants to challenge their deportations as the Trump administration cracks down on illegal immigration.

"The agency’s determination… is generally ‘conclusive unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary,’" Jackson wrote.

Who does the Supreme Court think it is it tell individual judges how to run their courts?
