It’s ironic that a legal immigrant brought the case against being held by U.S. immigration officials indefinitely without a bond hearing. The plaintiff was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and “joyriding”. The government detained him but the ACLU got involved and won his release and stopped his deportation. The government appealed the decision…
Immigrants can be held by U.S. immigration officials indefinitely without receiving bond hearings, even if they have permanent legal status or are seeking asylum, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.
JUSTICE KAGAN RECUSES:

In a 5-3 ruling Tuesday, with Justice Elena Kagan recusing, the court ruled that immigrants do not have the right to periodic bond hearings.

The ruling is a defeat for immigration advocates, who argued that immigrants should not be held for more than six months at a time without such a hearing.
The Supreme Court ruling follows a Trump administration appeal of a ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last year that imposed a rule requiring immigrants held in custody be given a bond hearing every six months, as long as they aren’t considered a flight risk or a danger to national security.“To impose a rigid six-month rule like the Court of Appeals did is really a mistake,” acting Solicitor General Ian Gershengorn said in November 2016.
In its ruling, the court affirmed the right of the government to detain immigrants while it determines whether they should be allowed in the country.
