Court Rules US Cannot Deny Bail Rights to Detained Immigrants
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that the Trump administration cannot deny detained immigrants in the United States the opportunity to be released on bail. The decision, made by a 2-1 vote by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals based in San Francisco, which included a judge appointed by President Trump in the majority, deepened the divide among federal appellate courts regarding the government's mandatory detention policy. Four other appellate courts have also rejected this policy, while the Fifth Circuit (based in New Orleans) and the Eighth Circuit (in St. Louis) have supported the Trump administration. This growing divergence among circuits increases the likelihood that the Supreme Court will ultimately address the issue. Last month, the government requested the highest court to review the matter.
