Court Rules Trump Migrant Detention Policy Violates Due Process

Source: Fox News

Summary

A federal court ruled that a Trump-era policy detaining migrants without bond hearings violates due process, comparing it to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the policy, which was part of Trump’s deportation agenda. Nine federal appeals courts have found the policy illegal, while two upheld it. The U.S. Supreme Court may take up the case. Immigrant rights groups praised the decision, calling it a rejection of the administration’s “cruel policy.” A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the agency was disappointed but plans to seek Supreme Court review.
