Add The New York Times on GoogleAgrega The New York Times en Google The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to review the Trump administration\u2019s policy of indefinitely detaining immigrants who crossed the border illegally years ago, signaling the court plans to weigh in on major pieces of President Trump\u2019s aggressive deportation agenda as it begins its new term on Monday.The policy is a departure from past practice, when such migrants were generally allowed an opportunity to seek release after a hearing before a judge.The justices previously announced that they would fast-track a separate case testing the administration's policy of deporting immigrants to countries where they have no ties, including nations that have faced allegations of human rights abuses.Between the two cases, the justices will consider the legality of some of the most controversial aspects of the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to rapidly expel millions of migrants living in the United States.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTThe justices also added two other cases to the docket of issues they will hear and decide by next June.One is a Kentucky case about whether a federal religious discrimination law protects a group of Catholic priests who want to build a shrine to the Virgin Mary over neighbors\u2019 objections. The other is a divorce dispute over military benefits originating in North Dakota.The immigration case the court accepted on Thursday involved noncitizens who entered the United States illegally but had been living in the country for years. For decades, such people could be released on bond pending additional court proceedings, so long as they were not found to be a threat to public safety or a flight risk.But last year, the Trump administration announced a new interpretation of a 1996 law, concluding it allowed noncitizens living in the United States to be held without bond. As a result, immigration judges have denied hearings to people, even if they have been living and working in the United States for years.More than 500 district court judges and nine of 11 federal appeals courts to consider the issue have rejected the administration\u2019s new detention rule and its interpretation of the immigration law at issue.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTAbout 70,000 people are currently in immigration detention across the United States, up from 40,000 before Mr. Trump took office in January 2025.

Most of the appeals courts to consider the issue have said the government should have provided hearings to determine whether they posed a danger to others or a flight risk pending the completion of removal proceedings.In April, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit sided with a Brazilian citizen, Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa Da Cunha, who has lived in the United States for about 20 years.He was arrested by federal agents on his way to work in Massachusetts, where he owns a construction business and a home with his wife, also a Brazilian citizen, and their two children, who are U.S. citizens.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTHe crossed the U.S. border with Mexico in 2004, applied for asylum in 2016 and was granted a work permit. He had not previously been detained and has no known criminal history, according to court filings.In its decision, the appeals court noted that Congress had never challenged what had been the settled practice of releasing certain migrants on bond despite making major changes to immigration law.\u201cEven if the government\u2019s newfound interpretation\u201d of the statute \u201cwere plausible \u2014 and it is not,\u201d the appeals court said it was obligated to read such laws in a way that would \u201cavoid the serious constitutional questions attendant to what would be the broadest mass-detention-without-bond mandate in our nation\u2019s history for millions of noncitizens.\u201dD. John Sauer, the solicitor general, urged the justices to reverse the decision and said in court filings that detaining immigrants who are living in the country long after an illegal entry \u201cprevents those aliens from evading hearings and helps ensure their removal from the United States.\u201dImmigrant advocates say federal law requires the government to provide noncitizens, regardless of how they entered the country, access to a bond hearing. The policy, they say, has stripped people of an opportunity to seek release by a judge.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTLawyers for the immigrants say the administration\u2019s reading of the statute allows the government to lock up millions of people who have resided in the United States for years without a possibility of a hearing or release. They emphasize that five presidential administrations over three decades, including the first Trump administration, have provided custody hearings.Michael K.T. Tan, the deputy director of the A.C.L.U.\u2019s Immigrants\u2019 Rights Project, said on Thursday that the government \u201ccannot twist the law to detain immigrants for months or even years on end without a bond hearing. Not only is it cruel and inhumane; it is unlawful.\u201dAlbert Sun and Abbie VanSickle contributed reporting.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
