- The Supreme Court announced Thursday it will decide the legality of President Trump's mandatory detention policy during its upcoming term.
- The mandatory detention policy is described in the source as one of Trump's "banner immigration programs," making the case a marquee immigration fight at the high court.
- The Trump administration argues it has the authority to detain people without bond under the challenged policy.
- The upcoming ruling will determine whether the executive can continue detaining immigrants without bond hearings, a tool at the center of the administration's immigration enforcement.
Why it matters: The Supreme Court taking up the case puts the administration's self-described "banner" immigration detention tool before its highest legal test. A ruling against the policy would strip one of the Trump administration's signature enforcement mechanisms, while a ruling in its favor would entrench detention without bond hearings as a nationwide practice.
