The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) on Tuesday held that previously deported illegal aliens, claiming to be in fear of persecution in their native country, are not entitled to bail for release into the U.S. during their deportation proceedings.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority in a 6-3 decision that the federal statute governing cases involving previously deported illegal aliens — who fear persecution in the country they are set to be deported — are not eligible for a bond hearing before a federal immigration judge.
