In a significant setback for the Trump administration's immigration policies, a federal appeals court has ruled that immigrants detained within the United States cannot be denied the opportunity for release on bond.
The 2-1 decision, handed down Thursday by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, is particularly notable as a judge appointed by President Donald Trump joined the majority. This ruling further deepens a growing divide among federal appeals courts regarding the administration's mandatory detention policy.
