Supreme Court to Review Policy Denying Bond Hearings to Immigrants
Dragon Media News Desk
The U.S. Supreme Court will review the Trump administration’s policy of detaining some immigrants facing deportation without giving them an opportunity to request bond hearings. Under the policy, detainees cannot ask a court to release them on bond while their cases are pending.
The administration argues that federal immigration law authorises mandatory detention. Lower courts have reached differing conclusions: most federal appeals courts have ruled against denying bond hearings, while some have sided with the administration.
The Supreme Court’s decision could affect the liberty and access to due process of people facing deportation proceedings. The justices will consider the limits of the administration’s immigration policy and the legal protections available to detainees.
