Appeals court reverses decision on immigrant detention
Jul 13, 2026·Location: El Paso, TX

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a July 2 panel decision that required bond hearings for immigrants held under the Trump administration's mandatory detention policy. The policy requires detention without bond for immigrants who crossed the border illegally, regardless of length of residence in the U.S. The appeals court will rehear the case in September, while the Supreme Court has agreed to take up a related case to resolve conflicts among circuit courts.
