It certainly doesn't address all of ICE's legal issues, no, but it does say they don't need to give this guy a bond hearing:

> Accordingly, we find that the district court erred in holding that the Government could not detain Avila without bond under ยง 1225(b)(2)(A) and in granting habeas relief on that basis.

My understanding from talking to a criminal defense attorney who practices in MN about this is that this seems to give ICE broad powers to hold people without bond which many, many lower courts had rejected not wanting ICE to have such a broad power for all the reasons you mentioned.
