Rare Court Win for Trump Detention Policy as 5th Circuit Blocks Release of Three Immigrants in Texas - Click Pic for more:
The stay blocks immediate releases as the administration appeals a policy that ICE says has freed about 2,000 detainees a month through bond hearings.
- On Tuesday, July 21, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stayed lower court rulings that had freed three Texas immigrants, allowing authorities to detain them again pending further proceedings.
- Implemented via a July 2025 memo, the Trump administration's mandatory detention policy aims to reach 1 million removals annually by detaining immigrants without bond regardless of criminal history or family ties.
- Appeals courts covering 10 states have ruled the policy unconstitutional, while the 5th and 8th Circuits found authority to detain under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, citing Fifth Amendment due process concerns.
- U.S. Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate called the ruling "an extraordinary precedential order making clear that illegal aliens do not have a constitutional right to roam free" in a social media post early Wednesday.
- The full 5th Circuit will hear arguments on Sept. 24 regarding constitutional rights to bond hearings, as the Supreme Court prepares to resolve conflicting circuit rulings during its next term.
