Supreme Court to hear challenge to Trump's mass detention policy
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a blockbuster challenge to ICE's mandatory detention policy after the Trump administration asked the justices to review the case this week. The outcome of this case will determine whether criminal noncitizens held in detention while awaiting deportation are entitled to bond hearings after lengthy periods behind bars, a policy lower courts have repeatedly blocked.
