A United States Federal Court of Appeals has rejected the Trump administration's attempt to deny bond hearings to immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The decision mandates that migrants held for more than 90 days must be offered a chance to argue for release on bond, a significant legal setback for the administration's broader deportation strategy.
Caribbean immigration advocates have welcomed the ruling, viewing it as a critical check on executive overreach.
The court's decision reinforces procedural safeguards for detainees, limiting the government's ability to hold individuals indefinitely without judicial review.
This development adds to a growing list of legal challenges facing the administration's immigration policies.
The ruling has immediate operational implications for ICE, which must now ensure compliance with bond hearing requirements for long-term detainees.
