The White House scored a big win on Wednesday when a second appeals court barred lower judges from releasing illegal migrants after they are arrested by the Department of Homeland Security.
“MASSIVE COURT VICTORY against activist judges and for President Trump’s law and order agenda!” Attorney General Pam Bondi declared onX, adding:
The Eighth Circuit has held that illegal aliens can be detained without [a bond hearing] — following a similar ruling from the Fifth Circuit last month. The law is very clear, but Democrats and activist judges haven’t wanted to enforce it … Imagine how many illegal alien crimes could have been averted if the left had simply followed the law?
“AWFUL,” responded Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, an advocate with a pro-migration advocacy group, to news of the court ruling. “This will effectively foreclose most of the [bond hearing] habeas lawsuits coming out of Minnesota, and hands ICE a major win.”
Over the last several months, pro-migration judges and lawyers have released more than 10,000 illegal migrants after they have been arrested. The releases are being ordered even though many Americans — such as Laken Riley and Sheridan Gorman — have been murdered after Democrats pushed for illegal migrants’ release.
That release tactic was especially common in Minnesota, where it is now barred because the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals includes Minnesota, Indiana, Missouri, and three other states.
The court-imposed “bond” releases allow migrants to keep working and also provide them with opportunities to hide from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. Each release also encourages other illegal migrants to decline the self-deportation process offered by DHS.
