1:43Now PlayingFederal judges are pushing back against mass detention, and their strategy could protect thousands of immigrants from being locked up without a hearing. ⚖️ After a Fifth Circuit panel backed the Trump administration’s authority to detain people targeted for deportation, two federal judges in El Paso found a way to limit that ruling from within. 📄 They held that the decision does not block constitutional challenges to detention. Even if immigration statutes permit custody, the Constitution requires due process and a fair hearing before a neutral judge. 🚨 This is critical for asylum seekers and long-term residents who have been arrested and transferred to Texas, far from their families and attorneys. Without these protections, they could face indefinite detention with no meaningful chance to fight for their freedom. Judges in other circuits are pushing back even harder, signaling that the courts have not abandoned due process. Giving up is not the only option, and some judges are making that clear. ⏳
