Supreme Court ruling goes against detained immigrants

The U.S. Supreme Court recently “curbed the ability of immigrants held in long-term detention during deportation proceedings to argue for their release in a ruling in sync with President Donald Trump’s get-tough approach toward immigration,” Reuters reported.

In the 5-3 decision, the court’s majority “found that federal law says immigrants who face deportation ‘shall be detained’ while their cases are being considered,” the Los Angeles Times reported. “The court’s conservatives rejected the view of federal judges in California who said detained immigrants have a right to a bail hearing after six months in jail,” the LA Times reported.
