In a landmark victory for law and order and President Trump’s iron-fisted immigration enforcement, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit just slammed the door shut on radical left-wing attempts to force catch-and-release policies on illegal aliens already roaming free inside America.
The 8th Circuit overturned a Minnesota activist district judge’s outrageous ruling that would have handed bond hearings to illegal aliens like Joaquin Herrera Avila, a repeat border invader from Mexico who snuck into the U.S. illegally in 2006 and again in 2016.
The 8th Circuit ruled that aliens present in the United States without lawful admission are “applicants for admission” and “seeking admission” under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A), meaning ICE can detain them without bond while removal proceedings grind forward.
No more free rides. No more taxpayer-funded bond hearings for people who shouldn’t be here in the first place.
