5th Circuit panel curtails indefinite detention of people arrested without any probable cause
newsworthy because it's the normally Trump-friendly 5th Circuit cir scribing Trump
tl;dr
5th circuit requires that ICE detainees receive a bond hearing within 90 days if authorities had no probable cause to detain

one of the judges preferred 30 days, the Trump judge thought the whole matter was nonjusticiable
when the government loses in court 10,000 times, it's breaking the law and violating people's rights
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/0...lysis-00914195Ten thousand losses.
That’s the Trump administration’s track record in court as federal judges grapple with the way ICE agents have swept through major U.S. cities and detained thousands of people in support of President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda.
More than 10,000 times, judges have said those detentions, typically carried out with no opportunity for detainees to plead their case, were illegal. That’s roughly 90 percent of all cases — a staggering rejection of a core piece of Trump’s immigration agenda.
Trump’s unprecedented detention policy, which is almost certainly headed to the Supreme Court, infuriated lower courts in ways no other modern issue has. It ruptured the relationship between the Justice Department and the judiciary; pitted the administration against itself; and upended innumerable lives — not just of the people swept up by immigration agents, but of their spouses and children, many of whom are U.S. citizens.
POLITICO is tracking the tens of thousands of detention cases that have flooded the system since ICE adopted its detention policy last July. Today we are releasing a full database of those rulings, giving the public an opportunity to see under the hood of our reporting — which has do ented the courts’ lopsided results, ICE’s tactics for defying judges’ orders and the rising tensions between the judiciary and the Trump administration.
The trend is clear from every angle. The administration has lost nearly 10,400 of the cases that have been decided, and prevailed in about 1,200. While some judges have heard more cases than others, the overwhelming majority of judges — more than 425 — have reached the same conclusion. Even a majority of Trump-appointed judges have sided against the administration.
Trump's contemporary mass revocation of asylum for hundreds of thousands of people is a probable economic shot in the foot
this 2024 report mainly rehashes the 2017 study that Trump canned at the time
refugees appear to be a clear net economic plus for the USA
https://www.americanimmigrationcounc...han-they-cost/A report released this month by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found that refugees and asylees have generated tens of billions of dollars more in local, state, and federal tax revenues over the last 15 years than they have cost in direct government services—ultimately representing a net fiscal gain at all levels of government.
From 2005 to 2019, refugees and asylees paid a total of $123.8 billion more in taxes than they cost in government services, for a net fiscal gain of $31.5 billion to the federal government and $92.3 billion to state and local governments combined. Refugees and asylees paid an estimated $363 billion to the federal government through payroll, income, and excise taxes, and $218 billion to state and local governments through income, sales, and property taxes.
Even when factoring in their spouses and children under 18, many of whom are U.S. citizens, refugees and asylees still provided a net fiscal gain, costing $723.4 billion in government services yet paying $739.4 billion in tax revenue, for a net gain of $16 billion.
“This historic federal study is important data-driven evidence demonstrating that over time, refugees, asylees, and their immediate families have made significant positive fiscal contributions to our country,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in the agency press release. “I hope this report becomes a key reference for decision-makers in all levels of government when it comes to refugee resettlement.”
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) report considered all refugees and asylees who had arrived since 1980. A refugee is defined as someone who cannot return to their homeland for fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, and who applies to come to the United States from another country.
I mean, technically you can become a Frenchman...
No thanks, I'm good right here!
