Trump's no-bond immigration detention policy
Gone quiet since
Where it stands
A report aired July 25, 2026, says the no-bond policy has left some lawful immigrants in North Dakota afraid to work or face detention, while immigration attorneys describe pressure on judges to deny cases. The report does not say the policy has been rescinded, replaced, or otherwise ended.

47 Judges, One Statute, and the Bond Fight That Splits the Country
A HeyDay video focused on North Dakota. Federal appeals courts are now split 7-to-2 over a single line of immigration law, and the map of who gets a bond hearing is being redrawn by circuit.
Still open after this report
- Whether the Supreme Court will take up the circuit split, and when.
- How many lawfully present immigrants have been detained in the Eighth Circuit without bond hearings since 2025.
- Whether the HeyDay video's North Dakota labor statistic and named attorney are independently verifiable.
