Supreme Court to hear dispute over Trump's mandatory detention policy
Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday said it will consider whether the Trump administration can detain tens of thousands of immigrants during their removal proceedings without access to bond hearings.

As a result of the Trump administration's mandatory detention policy, scores of people who entered the U.S. illegally years ago, including those without criminal records, have been held by immigration authorities indefinitely.
