On February 27, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States decided an important #immigration #detention case, Jennings v. Rodriguez, 583 U.S. __ (2018). The Supreme Court heard the case on appeal from the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Rodriguez v. Robbins, 804 F.3d 1060 (9th Cir. 2015). The Ninth Circuit limited the amount of time aliens could be detained under sections 235(b), 236(a), and 236(c) without individualized bond hearings.... To reach this result, the Ninth Circuit applied what is called the canon of constitutional avoidance, which entails trying to solve the case on non-constitutional grounds if the statutes permit. The Supreme Court reversed Rodriguez v. Robbins. Justice Alitio, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch, held that the Ninth Circuit misapplied the canon of constitutional avoidance. The Supreme Court majority did not reach the question of whether the detention provisions at issue where constitutional. Instead, it remanded the case to the Ninth Circuit for consideration of Rodriguez’s constitutional arguments in the first instance and also for consideration whether the Ninth Circuit had jurisdiction.
