Supreme Court grants review of Trump administration’s mandatory detention policy for immigrants
The justices will decide whether immigrants can be held without bond hearings as lower courts split over the policy’s legality, affecting millions, the ACLU said.
- The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take up a major challenge to the Trump administration’s expanded mandatory detention policy for immigrants, agreeing to decide whether federal immigration authorities can hold noncitizens without bond while deportation proceedings are pending.
- The policy reinterprets provisions of the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act to mandate detention for noncitizens arrested anywhere in the interior of the United States, denying them eligibility for bond hearings regardless of how long they have lived in the country or whether they lack a criminal record.
- The administration argues that the statutory language requires mandatory detention without bond for any noncitizen subject to removal proceedings, departing from decades of administrative practice where individuals arrested away from border zones could petition an immigration judge for release on bond.
- Attorneys representing affected immigrants—led by the American Civil Liberties Union —arguing alongside a growing consensus of federal district and circuit court rulings, contend that applying mandatory detention sweeps millions of long-term U.S. residents into indefinite confinement, violating procedural due process and statutory limits.
- The Supreme Court's decision to grant certiorari follows deep splits across federal appeals courts, including recent rulings by the 2nd, 4th, and 6th Circuits that struck down the administration's broad interpretation and reinstated access to bond hearings for noncitizens detained in the U.S. interior.
