Summary
The Fifth Circuit ruled Friday that migrants who crossed the border undetected can be detained during deportation proceedings, upholding the Trump administration's detention approach and limiting judges' ability to release them. Separately, the Ninth Circuit ruled 2-1 that Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles last year was unlawful, rejecting his argument that protests over his immigration crackdown justified bypassing Gov. Gavin Newsom's control of the troops.
