Supreme Court rules non citizens can be held indefinitely without bond

Immigrants can be held by U.S. immigration officials indefinitely without receiving bond hearings, even if they have permanent legal status or are seeking asylum, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.
NPR reports that the Court ruled 5-3, with Justice Elena Kagan recusing, that immigrants do not have the right to periodic bond hearings. The ruling is a defeat for immigration advocates, who argued that immigrants should not be held for more than six months at a time without such a hearing.

That's not the purpose of the court.
I have mixed feelings about the decision, but to expect the judiciary to do something 'for the betterment of the country' is exactly what leads to legislating from the bench.

Does this imply the Constitution only applies to citizens?

Why would it take Immigration 3 years to determine if the complaintant in this case was legally authorized to be in the US?

Having not read the decision, it would seem so.
But this applies to all immigrants, legal and otherwise. It seems to me that basically if youre not a citizen you are a traffic stop away from being detained indefinitely, regardless if you are here legally or not. Thats not a small thing.

Hopefully. The left's been trying to act like the Constitution applies to everyone in the world for years.

I am not disagreeing with that, but that is not the explicit purpose.

Honestly should have always been this way. I'm a humanitarian and all, but if you commit a violent crime intentionally or not, you have to realize there are consequences.

From the article.
The 9th Circuit needs to be dismantled.
quote:
The Supreme Court ruling follows a Trump administration appeal of a ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last year that imposed a rule requiring immigrants held in custody be given a bond hearing every six months, as long as they aren't considered a flight risk or a danger to national security.
“To impose a rigid six-month rule like the Court of Appeals did is really a mistake,” Solicitor General Ian Gershengorn said in November.
