US EditionTrump administration ordered to provide bond hearings to long-term migrants in class-action ruling
The ruling requires bond hearings for nearly 65,000 detained migrants, addressing due process violations found in the Trump administration's detention policies.
- On Tuesday, Judge Sunshine Suzanne Sykes ordered the administration under President Donald Trump to provide bond hearings to detained migrants awaiting deportation trials.
- The court determined that the administration under President Donald Trump denied immigrants due process and blocked bond release, marking the first ruling with nationwide application after similar immigrant plaintiffs' victories.
- Her order clarifies that people not detained initially upon entry are covered and Judge Sunshine Suzanne Sykes wrote, `It is unambiguous that 'applicants for admission' do not include noncitizens already in the United States.`
- The decision clears the way for a nationwide class-action lawsuit challenging detention policies, potentially affecting nearly 65,000 people held in U.S. immigrant detention centers.
- The ruling, however, restricts detention to recently arrived migrants seeking U.S. asylum, limiting White House officials' attempt to include yearslong U.S. inhabitants.
