About the case
On October 23, 2026, the en banc Fifth Circuit reversed the three district-court judgments and vacated habeas relief. It rejected the petitioners’ claimed entitlement to bond hearings under section 1225(b)(2)(A) and found no constitutional detention-duration violation on these records.
Relief
The petitioners sought habeas relief from detention without bond after ICE arrested them in Texas and detained them under the administration's section 1225(b)(2)(A) no-bond policy.
