US court: Immigrants can be detained for up to 90 days

A U.S. appellate court has ruled that undocumented immigrants can be detained for a maximum of 90 days without being granted a hearing to seek release on bail. The decision was made by a federal appeals court in New Orleans, where judges voted two to one in favor of limiting detention periods. The ruling is based on the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the right to a hearing if someone’s personal freedom is restricted. This could affect thousands of migrants held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in states like Texas and Louisiana. The Department of Homeland Security has expressed disagreement with the ruling, stating they believe in their legal position and have asked the Supreme Court to review a similar decision from another appellate court.

Bias read (Left): The article frames the ruling as a constitutional protection against arbitrary detention, emphasizing due process and individual rights. While it presents both the court's decision and the government's opposition, the emphasis on the constitutional basis and the potential impact on migrant detainees
