Supreme Court divided over immigrant detention dispute

The Supreme Court appeared divided Wednesday over whether the Trump administration can detain immigrants with criminal records indefinitely, years after they’ve served time for the offense.

The government argued aliens who commit crimes that subject them to deportation can be taken into custody at any time and detained for the duration of their removal proceedings without a bond hearing. A majority of justices on the court seemed to agree there should be some sort of time limit ...

Justice Neil Gorsuch asked “Is there any limit on the government’s power?”
Justice Steven Breyer suggested the government should only be able to detain people within a reasonable amount of time.

The court’s newest justice, Brett Kavanaugh, however, seemed to argue against the court writing a time limit into the law.
