POLICY WIRE — Washington, United States — The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review a controversial policy from the Trump administration that allows for the indefinite detention of thousands of undocumented immigrants during removal proceedings without access to bond hearings.

The policy, which targets all individuals in the U.S. illegally, including those who have lived here for years, has sparked legal disputes across federal courts. While some appellate courts have upheld the rule, others have ruled it unlawful, leading to conflicting interpretations of its legality.

Under the policy, immigration authorities can detain individuals without bond if they are found to be in the country illegally, though limited exceptions exist for humanitarian or public interest reasons. This has led to widespread criticism and a surge in legal challenges, with thousands of cases filed nationwide and significant strain on federal prosecutors.
