The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled on March 26, 2026, that the Trump administration has authority to detain noncitizens without bond hearings. The case centered on Joaquín Herrera Ávila, a Mexican national detained in Minneapolis in August 2025 after entering without proper documentation. He had lived in the U.S. for over 20 years. The three-judge panel found that noncitizens classified as applicants for admission are not entitled to bond hearings before immigration proceedings. The ruling reversed approximately 1,000 habeas corpus orders for release previously issued by Minnesota federal district judges and is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
