A U.S. appeals court has ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement cannot hold individuals for over 90 days without offering a chance for a bond hearing. This decision impacts thousands detained under the Trump administration's policy, particularly in Texas and Louisiana. The court emphasized constitutional due process rights, asserting that personal liberty cannot be indefinitely curtailed without a hearing.

Four appeals courts have ruled against the administration’s policy of mandatory detention, and two have backed it. The Supreme Court could hear the issue next.

The ruling could affect thousands of individuals who have been detained in states like Texas and Louisiana
