... The Trump administration cannot detain long-term immigrant residents without a bond hearing, a federal appellate court panel ruled Monday.

In a 2-1 ruling, a Sixth Circuit panel said the administration cannot treat immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for years the same as it treats individuals who are picked up while attempting to enter the country.

U.S. Circuit Judges R. Guy Cole and Eric Clay, both Bill Clinton appointees, upheld a lower court's ruling that noncitizens who entered the U.S. without inspection but have resided in the country for years are not subject to mandatory detention. Instead, they must be processed under permissive detention, which grants them the right to a bond hearing

That's Total BS.

Legal protection under the law is Not affected by Immigration Status.

They have rights to Due Process and all other Constitutional Protections.

Including the Right to bear Arms, Freedom of Speech and Assembly.

The Right to COMPETENT Legal Representation.

Trump is trying to take this away but he won't be able to.

Suck on THAT.

MAGA is easily the most anti-Constitution movement of my lifetime.

Even the caricature of libruls that they hold up as supposedly being anti-Constitution pales in comparison.
