2-1. Millet and Garcia in the majority, Rao dissents.

7th Circuit Opinion

9th Circuit Opinion

Both opinions were 2-1 and decided today. The question is whether 8 U.S.C. Section 1225(b)(2)(A) mandates detention without a bond hearing of aliens present in the US who have not been admitted but who are not recent entrants.

CA7 had previously considered the question in a case with a weird posture that didn't squarely present the issue, and a split majority resolved that case without resolving the question.

This continues to develop an extensive circuit split, now between CA5 and CA8 who ruled in favor of the policy and CA2, CA6, CA7, CA9, CA10, and CA11 who ruled against. The remaining circuits, CA1, CA3, and CA4, all have cases on the issue pending. The 5th Circuit and 6th Circuit decisions have been appealed and SCOTUS will almost certainly decide the issue in the upcoming term.

This Seventh Circuit case was a dispute about adherence to a consent decree between DHS and a group of Illinois plaintiffs. The case touches on the administration's mandatory immigration detention policy but, in a split outcome, there is no majority on its legality. Judge Lee, writing the main opinion, would have rejected the policy. Judge Pryor concurs in part and in the judgment, but does not join the section of Lee's opinion rejecting the policy. Judge Kirsch, dissenting, would have affirmed it.

The question is whether 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) authorizes the detention without bail of any alien present in the US who was not admitted, or only recent entrants or aliens detained near the border. The administration takes the first position, which differs from previous policy and has produced thousands of habeas cases across the country. This case is the fourth one in which appeals court judges have addressed the issue, but was about a consent decree rather than an appeal of a habeas case. The complicated procedural posture muddied the outcome: Judge Pryor deemed that DHS had waived that argument and did not reach the question

The previous circuit rulings are:

• Second Circuit, rejects the policy (April 28)
• Eigth Circuit, affirms the policy (March 25)
• Fifth Circuit, affirms the policy (February 6)

This is the last circuit case on the mandatory detention policy that I was following (First Circuit panel heard oral arguments on a relevant case on Monday actually), and it though it didn't rule on the policy, IMO it is further evidence of disagreement within the circuit courts. SCOTUS will very likely resolve this circuit split.

My habit is to put all my unit production buildings in a control group on #2. This gives me one menu with all the units to choose from, and I click on individual buildings to buy upgrades.

Since the last patch (I think) when I do this after selecting my #2 control group, after a second or a few seconds the game will deselect all buildings except one. It is very frustrating and unreliable and I end up having to click around to each production building.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any workarounds?
