(The Center Square) – A second federal appeals court has sided with the Trump administration’s effort to detain illegal immigrants without bond.

In a split decision released Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that illegal immigrants arrested anywhere in the United States can be considered “seeking admission.” That classification allows federal authorities to hold them without a bond hearing while deportation proceedings continue.
