Appeals Court Backs Trump‑Era Mass Detention Policy

A federal appeals court affirmed the Trump-era policy that lets ICE detain the vast majority of people it seeks to deport. This is the administration's second appellate victory upholding the broad detention rule, a clear legal win for the Justice Department. The ruling expands ICE's authority during removal proceedings and raises significant due process and civil liberties concerns. Separately, Rep. Jamie Raskin says the DOJ inadvertently turned over documents to Congress that could undermine the administration's criminal cases.
