Supreme Court agrees to weigh in on case over rights of some in ‘prolonged’ ICE detention

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review a case involving the prolonged detention of a legal immigrant from the Dominican Republic by ICE, who was held for 21 months after an assault conviction. An appeals court previously ruled that unreasonably prolonged detention requires a bond hearing with 'clear and convincing evidence' from the government. The Supreme Court also questioned whether the immigrant's 2020 release renders the case moot.
