Supreme Court To Review Bond Hearings For Detained Immigrants

The Supreme Court has decided a number of immigrant detention cases in recent years.  Next Term brings another case.    Alyssa Aquino for Law360 reports that the Court agreed today to review a Ninth Circuit decision that required bond hearings for immigrants who have been detained for more than six months with final removal orders.  A split ruled that the Immigration and Nationality Act requires the federal government to hold bond hearings for detained migrants, and that the government bears the burden of proving that detainees are a flight risk or public safety threat.
