ICE Wants Power to Detain Immigrants for Months or Years Without Bond Hearings

The Supreme Court will hear a case that could strip another layer of due process from immigration detention.

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/48421964

The Court has agreed to hear a Trump administration appeal involving lawful permanent residents who were detained for months without a chance to ask for release on bond. A lower court ruled that prolonged detention without bond hearings violated due process protections. The administration is now asking the Supreme Court to reverse that ruling.

This is not a technical court dispute for the people inside detention. A bond hearing can be the only chance to ask a judge to look at whether continued detention is justified. Without that hearing, ICE can keep someone locked up while the immigration case moves slowly through the system.

      What makes you think the supreme court cares about what is constitutional?

      I have no faith in the judical branch. But even if I did, this regime has ignored the courts before.
