A federal appeals court has blocked a Trump administration immigration policy that would have allowed authorities to detain far more migrants without bond hearings, including people who had been living in the US for years.
In a ruling issued Wednesday, the Miami-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the administration's attempt to significantly expand mandatory detention powers under federal immigration law. Judges warned the policy could have led to the large-scale detention of migrants with jobs, families and long-established lives in the country.
