The Supreme Court will hear Rhoney v. Barbosa da Cunha, stemming from our lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s unlawful policy that subjects millions of immigrants to mandatory detention without access to bond hearings. Mandatory detention has played a key role in this administration’s cruel and lawless campaign of mass deportations. This case will decide whether the government can upend how our laws have been understood and applied for decades to lock up millions of immigrants without a chance to show there is no justification for their detention while they fight their removal. The ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ, New York Civil Liberties Union, Law Office of Paul O’Dwyer, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, and MacArthur Justice Center are counsel in this case. Oral argument is expected in late February or early March 2027.
