🏛️ Supreme Court to hear Trump appeal involving lengthy detention of certain immigrants
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal by President Donald Trump's administration in a case involving the legality of subjecting certain convicted immigrants with pending deportation proceedings to lengthy detention without bond hearings allowing them to seek a release on bail.
The administration appealed a lower court's ruling that said the U.S. Constitution's right to due process bars "unreasonably prolonged" detention without a hearing of non-U.S. citizens who face deportation after being convicted of certain crimes. That ruling involved two immigrants in New York - one who pleaded guilty to assault and the other convicted of sexually abusing a child.
The court is expected to hear arguments in the case during its next term that starts in October.
The dispute stems from the government's detention of two non-U.S. citizen men who were convicted of aggravated felonies while living in the United States as lawful permanent residents, also known as green-card holders.
