Story summary
- The Supreme Court agreed to review Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s bondless detention policy on Oct. 1, 2026.
- Opponents argue the policy unlawfully pressures long-resident immigrants, though challenges have been rejected.
- If upheld, the 1996 law could require detention of millions, extending beyond arrests.
- Previously, arrests allowed release after posting bond when a judge found no danger.
- ACLU attorney Michael Tan called the policy a radical break with established law.
