Supreme Court to decide lawfulness of Trump’s immigrant detention policy

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Thursday it will consider whether immigrants subject to deportation can be held in detention indefinitely while their cases are adjudicated.
The eventual ruling could endorse or end a key feature of President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration crackdown.
The case was among three the court took up ahead of the justices’ return to action Monday for a new nine-month term following a summer break. Rulings in all three are due by the end of June.
