TRM said:Judge Ana Reyes enjoined ending TPS for Haitians; she must not be able to read; 8 USC 1254a says there’s “no judicial review” of decision by GOV to grant or terminate TPS- no judicial review means no judicial review; Reyes is violating federal law.

TPS comes roaring back. SCOTUS can end this now -- if the Six Justices who originally blocked a SF District Judge can just agree as to "why" he was wrong blocking Sec. Noem.

Quote:
When someone enters the U.S. illegally, they are subject to removal (deportation) through expedited removal (immediate, without a hearing) or formal immigration court proceedings. The process typically involves apprehension by DHS, detention by ICE, a Notice to Appear (NTA) in court, and a hearing before a judge, unless they express fear of persecution.
The Exact Removal Process:
- Apprehension and Detention: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains the individual and verifies their status.
- Expedited Removal: Individuals who cannot prove they have been in the U.S. for more than two years and are apprehended shortly after crossing may be removed quickly without a hearing.
- Credible Fear Interview: If an individual in expedited removal expresses a fear of persecution or torture, they are interviewed by an asylum officer. If they pass, they move to a full removal hearing.
- Formal Removal Proceedings: If not expedited, the person is served a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court.
- Court Hearing: An immigration judge (EOIR) reviews the case. The government must prove the person is not a U.S. citizen and is removable. The individual can apply for relief (e.g., asylum, cancellation of removal).
- Final Order and Removal: If the judge orders removal, or if the individual waives their right to a hearing, ICE (specifically the Enforcement and Removal Operations - ERO) coordinates the physical removal to the home country via commercial or chartered flights.
Key Aspects:Expedited removal allows DHS immigration officers to quickly deport certain noncitizensincluding those at the border or, more recently, interior, undocumented individualswithout a hearing before an immigration judge. The process generally involves a sworn statement, a summary interview, and an immediate removal order, usually within 2448 hours.
- Detention: Individuals may be held in detention centers during this process.
- Legal Representation: Noncitizens have the right to an attorney, but not at the government's expense.
- Appeals: Individuals may appeal the judge's decision to an immigration appeals board.
The Expedited Removal Process:Under recent expansions, this process can occur for individuals arrested within the U.S. who cannot prove they have been physically present for the preceding 14 days.
- Initial Inspection/Apprehension: An immigration officer (CBP at the border, ICE in the interior) determines if a person is inadmissible due to lack of proper documents or fraud/misrepresentation.
- The Interview: The officer conducts a brief, sworn interview to verify citizenship and admissibility.
- Order of Removal: If the officer finds the person inadmissible, they issue a final order of removal.
- Exceptions (Credible Fear): If an individual expresses fear of persecution or torture upon return, they are entitled to a "credible fear interview" with an asylum officer. If they pass this screening, they may have a hearing before an immigration judge; otherwise, they are removed.
- Consequences: Individuals removed through this process are barred from re-entering the U.S. for a set period.
- Limited Review: The order is generally not subject to administrative appeal.
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

plit on the ruling with two judges ruling that the Trump administration had the correct interpretation of the immigration law when it comes to the ability to detain people that will be deported, according to Politico.
"That prior Administrations decided to use less than their full enforcement authority … does not mean they lacked the authority to do more," Judge Edith Jones, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, wrote for the majority.
The case centers on the interpretation of a statute that requires migrants who are still "applicants for admission" to be held without bond while seeking admission to the United States.
The law was previously interpreted as new illegal migrants and not those who have been in the country illegally for years, but the Trump administration said in July that anyone targeted for deportation would be treated as an "applicant for admission," and therefore subject to detention.
Judge Dana Douglas, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, claimed in her dissent that the ruling would require as many as two million migrants residing in the United States to be detained without bond.
"Straining at a gnat, the majority swallows a camel," she wrote. "The government's proposed reading of the statute would mean that, for purposes of immigration detention, the border is now everywhere. That is not the law Congress passed, and if it had, it would have spoken much more clearly."

SCOTUS pretty much has to take it. Its split by the circuits now that 5th has ruled for Trump. Maby they won't take the appeal from the 5th but they will take this without bond topic for sure out of one of the liberal circuits when Trumps admin appeals it.
Quote:
The circuit's ruling is unlikely to be the last word. Challenges to the administration's policy have been crowding court dockets across the country and are pending in nearly every appellate circuit. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals signaled it opposed the administration's view of the policy in a ruling that was primarily focused on other issues.
At the heart of the issue is a 30-year-old immigration statute that requires the detention without bond of all "applicants for admission" to the United States while they are "seeking admission" to the country. For decades, administrations of both parties applied this to people who had newly arrived in the country, perhaps by crossing the southern border.

(Note also this has nothing to do with due process. Illegal aliens subject to this ruling can have all the process they want - while sitting in detention) https://t.co/ddVr5opxuX
Quote:
This decision is massively important - one of the most important of the year. It means that if you are an illegal alien who never presented themselves at a port of entry, and ICE finds you, you can and must be detained without bail.
The knock on effects from this will be enormous. Prior to this - if you were caught as an illegal alien and put in removal proceedings, you were entitled to bail while your lawyers string things along. You could stay out of jail for months - even years - and keep doing what you were doing in our country. No more.
Now - if you crossed illegally and ICE finds you, you're done. You're not walking American streets freely again unless you prevail in your removal proceeding (which is supremely unlikely). You won't be able to go to your apartment and grab your things. You are simply done. You can either accept deportation or sit in immigration detention while your lawyer wastes their time on futile filings, and then get deported when you lose.
This will lead to a lot more illegal aliens simply giving up on their frivolous court fights and accepting deportation, which will help relieve the court backlogs. This will also lead to many more illegal aliens self-deporting. Would you rather pack up your things, settle your affairs, and get a free flight and $2500? Or would you rather try and hide from ICE, knowing that the moment they find you, you will never breathe free air in America again?
It's a much easier choice.
Congratulations to Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and everyone at DOJ responsible for this victory. It's a milestone win.
It's true. The 5th Circuit, as we all know, is the highest court in the land.
