Black, concerning the legality of indefinite detention of criminal immigrants awaiting removal. The case arose after two immigrants, Carol Black and Keisy G.M., challenged their prolonged detention, with a federal appeals court ruling that due process requires a bond hearing if detention becomes excessively lengthy and that the government bears the burden of justification. The Justice Department seeks clarity from the Supreme Court on whether such detention can be indefinite and who bears the burden of proof. This case adds to a series of recent immigration-related cases the Supreme Court has examined. The Court is expected to hear arguments in the upcoming term, between October 2023 and April 2024, alongside other notable cases, including disputes over Trump&#8217;s immigration policies, gender-specific sports laws, and mail-in ballot counting. The current term is nearing its conclusion, with decisions expected soon.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/supreme-court\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"203\">Supreme Court<\/a> announced it would take up a case deciding whether the federal government can hold criminal <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/immigrants\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1370\">immigrants<\/a> in detention indefinitely pending removal, adding to the immigration cases the high court has heard in recent years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The high court said Monday that it would hear the case <em>Genalo v.
