The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Just Issued a Major Ruling on Illegal Aliens
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just issued a major ruling that will likely impact immigration enforcement going forward. The Court announced a per curiam order in several consolidated cases, including Ignacio Sosnava Rodriguez v. Sylvester M. Ortega, granting the government's motion to stay district court judgments that ordered bond hearings or releases for illegal aliens.
The case was brought by illegal aliens who were detained by ICE and held under mandatory detention provisions while in removal proceedings. District courts had granted habeas corpus relief, saying prolonged mandatory detention violates the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause.
This is a big win for the Trump administration.
