Supreme Court to Decide Whether Undocumented Immigrants Can Be Held Without Bond

The Supreme Court agreed Oct. 1, 2026, to decide whether the Trump administration can detain undocumented immigrants without bond — meaning no payment for release — while deportation cases proceed. Before 2025, bond was allowed unless someone was a flight or safety risk. A 2025 reinterpretation required detention. A win for the government would keep tens of thousands locked up.
