Immigrants can be held by U.S. immigration officials indefinitely without receiving bond hearings, even if they have permanent legal status or are seeking asylum, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.
In a 5-3 ruling Tuesday, with Justice Elena Kagan recusing, the court ruled that immigrants do not have the right to periodic bond hearings.
The ruling is a defeat for immigration advocates, who argued that immigrants should not be held for more than six months at a time without such a hearing.
The Supreme Court ruling follows a Trump administration appeal of a ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last year that imposed a rule requiring immigrants held in custody be given a bond hearing every six months, as long as they aren't considered a flight risk or a danger to national security.
I guess that ruling will be the end of the argument by those who keep saying illegals have rights, if green card holders do not have those rights then surely illegals have no rights whatsoever.

"Immigration officials are authorized to detain certain aliens in the course of immigration proceedings while they determine whether those aliens may be lawfully present in the country," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion.
SCOTUS rejected the case and put it back on the bench of the lower court.
To add some clarity: SCOTUS rejected an expedited appeal (POTUS asked for the high court to rule now, which was an unusual request that is rarely granted).
I will write the UN & other international institutions and ask them to pressure the US Congress to right this ungodly wrong. How can you detain someone indefinitely -- modern chattel slavery without the forced labor.
