Federal judges especially in Minnesota have been granting bail to persons picked up for deportation as illegal aliens. Politico reports the Eighth Circuit court just ruled against this loophole.
The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 Wednesday that the administration had properly determined that federal law doesn’t only allow — but requires — ICE to detain the vast majority of people it is seeking to deport.
This is an excellent finding, one unlikely to be overturned, or even heard, by SCOTUS. This is a win for American citizens and legal immigrants.
It is vital that we undo much of the vileness Biden open borders created. Unlike administrative decisions which can be undone by the next president, legal precedents like this one tend to be long-lived.
Also, people in detention are much more likely to accept voluntary deportation as a “get out of jail free card.” Every illegal alien we can send home is a message to others in that country that making the trip isn’t worth it.
