>In Tuesday's ruling, the 9th Circuit panel said the administration had made a "strong showing" that Sykes wrongly certified a nationwide class, saying claims ​concerning the validity of someone's detention "must be ​brought in habeas proceedings in the ⁠appropriate district of confinement." On a more common sense level, it is hard to square that a subject of immigration detention can never be a member of a nationwide class, because they must bring their habeas petition in the district of confinement, when the policy they are subject to is a federal one with nationwide impact. However, I haven't read the opinion so I can't pretend to know the nuances they got into.

Expedited removal was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. 1996.

Expedited removal is more humane than unlimited detention. Let them opt for expedited removal each morning.

Or... we just.. dont hold them for no reason? We aren't necessarily known for our great deportation record either, with torture camps, prisons, and essentially, handing some of these people straight over to actual terror organizations. Our 3rd party deportations suck donkey balls.

This is how we get here. It's okay if it's a lesser evil. These people are all inhumane crooks who steal tax money and abuse the common people of society for their own gain. Stop defending these people, they won't defend you.

Yes, I know the current administration is that bad but we are talking about immigration and the treatment of immigrants now.

Yeah, but Bill doesn't care one way or another as long as he's making money. Don't be fooled. His wife ran the WH. He just plays p**** and parties all the time. They don't make policy.

Who cares about Bill and Hillary, he has not been a president for AGES. Im more concerned with the current administration who wants to EXILE American citizens they do not like and building the equivalent of concentration camps and ICE that is out of control.

How many justice courts do USA have, and how can one court overrule what another court has judged. No wonder there are so many lawyers in the USa

Just about every country has an appeals system where a higher court can overrule a lower court

Good question - the US has a dual structure separating Federal and State courts, both with their own hierarchical trial and appellate levels. The Federal system has 94 District Courts, 12 regional Courts of Appeals plus a 13th Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in DC that has a nationwide jurisdiction, and then the Supreme Court. When we're talking about higher courts overturning lower court rulings or a case being appealed to a higher court, this is the structure we're talking about. State courts mirror that structure, with a state supreme court as the highest authority.

Ummm...this ruling is the exact opposite....ICE Can detain again >A federal appeals court has put on hold a California judge's nationwide ​rulings barring the Trump administration from detaining people arrested in its immigration crackdown without giving them a chance to seek release on bond.

You have misread the article, if you read it at all.
