Trump administration asks Supreme Court to uphold mandatory detention policy for migrants during deportation proceedings.
Solicitor General John Sauer filed a request with the Supreme Court on June 27, 2026 to overturn lower court rulings that blocked a policy requiring the detention of migrants without bond hearings while deportation proceedings are pending. The policy, initiated in July 2025, has faced over 9,300 adverse rulings from federal district court judges. Five appellate circuits have ruled on the issue, with three ruling against the administration and two in favor.
