A federal appeals court handed the Trump administration a key win this week in its efforts to hold illegal immigrants in detention pending their removal proceedings, as a key part of President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda makes its way closer to the Supreme Court.

The full bench of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit halted lower court orders that had released a trio of illegal immigrants from detention and ordered they be subject to bond hearings if federal authorities wanted to attempt to detain them again. The order from the full Fifth Circuit did not elaborate on its decision to halt the district court orders, but it came weeks after the circuit three-judge panel’s ruling was set aside so the full court could hear the case.
