Trump Admin Ends Bond Hearings for Illegal Immigrants | JQJO

The Trump administration is implementing a new policy eliminating bond hearings for immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally, mandating detention throughout deportation proceedings. This affects millions, potentially including long-term residents with U.S. citizen children. ICE claims this closes a loophole, aligning with existing immigration law, while critics argue it expands detention powers and undermines due process. The policy's legality is expected to be challenged, with some judges already accepting the new directive while others have granted bond hearings, leading to ICE appeals.
