Tl/dr: illegals arrested in the interior, and detained in Louisiana, Texas, or Mississippi (fifth circuit region), do not have a right to file a habeas petition nor get a bond hearing. The govt can enforce mandatory detention and greatly expedite removal.

Immigration commentators are saying it’s a massive win for ICE

Huge win for the Administration. Expect detention centers in the 5th circuit to be maxed out.

Now every illegal that gets captured can be moved to these states, released, immediately recaptured, and quickly deported. Nice.

Because non-citizens don’t get the rights of citizens.

That’s pretty obvious. But then again so is having a penis versus having a vagina but the Dems can’t get that straight either.

Since when is it "a huge win" for a judge to have to over rule a lower court, two lower courts, and actually agree to enforce the law as written?

Sad state of affairs our country is in. We never addressed the "broken windows" of immigration law and now have nonsense like sanctuary states and cities, judges ruling on prior cases that should have never had any standing. Really sad what has happened to our country.

The Fifth CCA has now ruled the aliens can be detained as they go through the removal process. This means ICE captures the illegal, holds them in detention and then rapidly deports them. The ruling, which will likely be appealed to the supreme court, fast-tracks the removal.

And while limited to the states of the 5th Circuit, it's also the highest court to rule on the issue thus far, so the Adminstration can rightly ignore district court judges elsewhere that rule to the contrary.

Dems can’t get a penis straight because their people with vaginas are too repulsive.

Honestly this is the correct ruling. Illegal aliens do get due process, but it is different than an American citizens version.

And that is ok, because that is true for many things. Illegals aliens obviously can't buy a firearm. So the idea of disparate rights for non citizens is the way the law is.

And as such, immigration judges rule the immigration arena. Judicial judges should have little power in this realm.

That doesn't mean that activists judges with no idea of the law don't go interjecting themselves, but legally they have little power. I'm the realm of immigration, immigration judges world incredible power.

They issue administrative warrants that when dealing with immigrants wield the power of judicial warrants.

They can unilaterally decide to deport or not, grant asylum or not, or grant extensions.

So this is nothing new. If an immigration judge said to hold an illegal workout bond, well their choice is to wait in detainment or agree to deportation.

It may take a while, but even the legal system gets things right sometimes...

But yet our Constitution says otherwise. The only rights non citizens don't have over citizens, is the right to vote and the right to hold certain jobs, such as President and Vice President.

This has always been such a stupid reply. It's like most people never bother to read the most important document in our country.

If you’re retarded, you believe this.

Do non-citizens qualify for Medicaid? Social security benefits? Snap benefits? (Legally of course. We know they’re getting these illegally.)

Do non-citizens get to work in any job they want without qualification?

Do non-citizens have potential restrictions on their travel?

Do they have the potential to be deported?
