On Tuesday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Trump administration's immigration detention policy, which mandated the detention of most individuals arrested during immigration enforcement without the opportunity for bond hearings. The court found that the administration's interpretation of immigration law was incorrect and diverged from the views of over 370 lower-court judges. This ruling followed a similar decision by a New York judge that led to the release of Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha, a Brazilian national who had lived in the United States for over 20 years. U.S. Circuit Judge Joseph Bianco, appointed by Trump, stated that endorsing the administration's policy would create the broadest mass-detention-without-bond mandate in U.S. history, affecting millions of noncitizens. The ruling adds to a growing conflict among appeals courts, raising the possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court may need to resolve the differing interpretations of immigration law.
