Supreme Court will review Trump policy on bond hearings for immigrants

The Supreme Court has agreed to review a Trump administration policy denying bond hearings for detained immigrants. The high court will consider whether immigrants have a right to a hearing to determine if they should remain detained while challenging their possible deportation. Appeals court judges from nine of 11 federal circuits have separately concluded that detaining immigrants without a bond hearing violates federal law.

Those decisions conflict with rulings by the 5th and 8th circuits, which held that immigrants accused of illegally entering the U.S. must be detained while their deportation cases are pending. Attorneys from President Donald Trump’s Republican administration argue the circuits’ split is “disrupting the orderly administration of immigration law.”
