NEW YORK, United States (CMC) — Caribbean immigration advocates have welcomed a United States (US) Federal Court of Appeals’ rejection of President Donald Trump’s attempt to deny bond hearings for Caribbean and other immigrants.

The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans ruled that people in immigration detention have the right to meaningful due process and must receive a bond hearing within 90 days.

The decision rejects the Trump administration’s attempt to detain immigrants without having to justify their continued detention before a judge.
