In Garcia-Mir, the district court found that prolonged detention of the undocumented aliens was, in the circumstances, "arbitrary," and therefore a violation of international law. But it also held that even though it was in violation of international law, the courts would not order an end to the detention because it had been authorized by the Attorney General. The court of appeals affirmed.
