Supreme Court grants review of Trump administration’s mandatory detention policy for immigrants

The Supreme Court has agreed to review a Trump administration policy that denies bond hearings for immigrants during the government's immigration crackdown. The justices will determine if immigrants living in the U.S. have a right to a hearing to decide if they should remain detained while challenging their possible deportation.

This policy is in conflict with previous decisions from various federal circuits. The Trump administration argues that the split among the circuits is disrupting the orderly administration of immigration law. However, the American Civil Liberties Union and other plaintiffs argue that the administration's new interpretation denies bond hearings to millions of noncitizens, regardless of their length of residence in the U.S.
