The Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear a dispute about the legality of the Trump administration’s mandatory detention policy for many immigrants facing deportation.
The brief order sets up another high-profile fight during the coming term, when the justices will also hear issues ranging from gun rights to civil rights. The administration has argued that a 1996 immigration law requires that federal officials detain any immigrant “seeking admission” — a category that the administration says covers almost every immigrant without legal status — indefinitely without bond.
