The Court has agreed to hear a Trump administration appeal involving lawful permanent residents who were detained for months without a chance to ask for release on bond. A lower court ruled that prolonged detention without bond hearings violated due process protections. The administration is now asking the Supreme Court to reverse that ruling.

This is not a technical court dispute for the people inside detention. A bond hearing can be the only chance to ask a judge to look at whether continued detention is justified. Without that hearing, ICE can keep someone locked up while the immigration case moves slowly through the system.
