NPR: The U.S. Supreme Court appeared closely divided Wednesday as it tried to figure out whether immigrants can be detained indefinitely without a chance to persuade a neutral judge that they are entitled to temporary release.
The people who brought the case are a special subset of immigrants, who number 6,000 to 8,000 on any given day. They are long-term residents of the U.S., whose legal status was revoked after they committed a crime, often a relatively minor crime such as possession of a drug or petty theft. Or some are asylum seekers who claim a credible fear of persecution in their home countries.
