Jennings v Rodriquez 2018

Impact of Jennings v Rodriguez on Immigrant Detention

In Jennings v Rodriquez, 583 U. S. ____ (2018), a divided U.S. Supreme Court held that detained immigrants do not have the right to periodic bond hearings during the course of their detention. It further ruled that Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals misapplied the canon of constitutional avoidance in holding otherwise.
