Appeals Court Blocks ICE From Detaining Migrants Over 90 Days Without Bond Hearings
A federal appeals court panel ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement cannot hold migrants for more than 90 days without a bond hearing. The decision limits the administration's expansion of detention authority and requires that individuals whose liberty is at stake receive an opportunity to be heard. This ruling directly challenges a 2025 DHS policy that allowed for extended detention during deportation proceedings. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals emphasized that the government cannot hold migrants indefinitely while they wait for their cases to be resolved. This legal blow comes as ICE continues to ramp up arrests across the country. The court affirmed that due process rights apply to those held in custody, ensuring they can seek release while their legal status is determined.
