U.S. Supreme Court gives Trump victory on immigration detention

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Tuesday endorsed the U.S. government’s authority to detain immigrants awaiting deportation anytime - potentially even years - after they have completed prison terms for criminal convictions, handing President Donald Trump a victory as he pursues hardline immigration policies.
The law at issue states that the government can detain convicted immigrants “when the alien is released” from criminal detention. Civil rights lawyers for two groups of plaintiffs argued that the language of the law shows that it applies only immediately after immigrants are released. The Trump administration said the government should have the power to detain such immigrants anytime.
The plaintiffs included two legal U.S. residents involved in separate lawsuits filed in 2013, a Cambodian immigrant named Mony Preap convicted of marijuana possession and a Palestinian immigrant named Bassam Yusuf Khoury convicted of attempting to manufacture a controlled substance.
It's a case dating back to the
Obama administration, even the 9th Circuit ruling was from 2016, yet even the AP article is painting this as Trump-specific. So you can see why the dummies on ResetERA.com are acting as if a Clinton Administration or even the in-power Obama Administration would have argued differently from how they did in favor of protecting a federal power over foreigners involved in DRUGS.
