In a landmark victory for law and order and President Trump’s iron-fisted immigration enforcement, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit just slammed the door shut on radical left-wing attempts to force catch-and-release policies on illegal aliens already roaming free inside America.
The 8th Circuit overturned a Minnesota activist district judge’s outrageous ruling that would have handed bond hearings to illegal aliens like Joaquin Herrera Avila, a repeat border invader from Mexico who snuck into the U.S. illegally in 2006 and again in 2016.
The 8th Circuit ruled that aliens present in the United States without lawful admission are “applicants for admission” and “seeking admission” under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A), meaning ICE can detain them without bond while removal proceedings grind forward.
No more free rides. No more taxpayer-funded bond hearings for people who shouldn’t be here in the first place.
Writing for the majority, Judge Shepherd shredded the district court’s activist reasoning and aligned the 8th Circuit with the 5th Circuit’s recent decision in Buenrostro-Mendez v. Bondi.

Typical leftist judicial activism, treating illegal aliens better than American citizens.
The district judge claimed § 1225(b)(2)(A) only applies to people “seeking admission” at the border, not those who’ve been squatting here for years.
“Seeking admission” and “applicant for admission” are synonymous, the court ruled. Congress didn’t create a special carve-out for illegals who successfully evaded detection long enough to set up shop in Minneapolis.

Commentary:
Contrary to what Democrats are demanding, the court made it crystal clear that if you’re an illegal alien who entered without inspection or admission, you are not some protected long-term resident entitled to special treatment. You are subject to mandatory detention under the law Congress wrote.
Personally, I prefer my whiskey neat, with a lot of ICE.
