531170597379K- Living in the United States illegally for years doesn’t override the detention laws Congress passed, and breaking the law for a long time certainly doesn’t earn you the same rights as American citizens. Big win out of the Fifth Circuit.Fox News Politics @foxnewspoliticsThe Fifth Circuit just handed the Trump administration a major weapon heading into a Supreme Court showdown over immigration detention. In a sweeping en banc ruling, the appeals court held that illegal immigrants who were never formally admitted to the U.S. have no constitutional right to individualized bond hearings while awaiting deportation — even if they've lived in the country for years or decades. The court found that ties to communities and long residence do not create due process protections under the Fifth Amendment. The decision lands as the Supreme Court prepares to hear Rhoney v. Barbosa da Cunha, a closely related case that will resolve a 9-2 circuit split over whether mandatory-detention laws apply to longtime immigrants arrested inside the country. Legal experts say Friday's ruling could directly influence the justices by neutralizing a key argument against the government: that its reading of federal law would be unconstitutional.

- This is similar to my Bonuses for Cost-Cutters Act, which would let Inspectors General pay bonuses to federal employees who find waste, fraud, mismanagement, or unneeded surplus funds.
