nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. (The 14th Amendment)


(Reuters) - Immigrants who are detained in the U.S. for lengthy periods of time while awaiting deportation proceedings do not have a constitutional right to a hearing on whether they should be released on bond, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday.


Deepening an existing split among appeals courts, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 ruling said Aroldo Rodriguez Diaz, an El Salvadoran citizen with gang ties and an extensive criminal record, was not entitled to a bond hearing after spending 14 months in a detention center.

IMHO-9th Circuit can't read. Or has a problem with upholding the Law as it is written.
