US judge throws out immigration board's ruling endorsing Trump mass detention policy
Judge Sykes ruled the Trump-era policy unlawful for denying bond hearings to thousands of detainees, calling the administration's actions unconstitutional and shameless, affecting migrants nationwide.
- On Feb 18, U.S. District Judge Sunshine Sykes in Riverside vacated the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision in a nationwide class-action covering migrants.
- After the BIA adopted the interpretation in September, DHS reinterpreted law last year, prompting immigration judges to mandate detention, according to the source.
- In her decision Sykes criticized DHS for inaccurately suggesting ICE operations targeted only criminal non-citizens and wrote, `Maybe that phrase merely mirrors the severity and ill-natured conduct by the Government.`
- The decision could restore bond hearings for thousands of detained non-citizens nationwide as Professor Niels Frenzen said it stops immigration judges from using the board's ruling to deny hearings.
- Earlier this month a split federal appeals panel upheld the policy, the first appellate backing amid hundreds of lower-court judges finding it unlawful.
