SCOTUS reinforces Gov't's right to detain illegals.

The liberal justices are concerned about a legal immigrant who committed a minor crime being detained without bail years later because of that crime after years of lawful behavior.

Conservative justices are concerned with putting a 24 hour limit on being able to address this. 


Seems like the two sides should have tried to put a specific window in place, especially since Alito suggested that doing this to someone years after could be unconstitutional, though he suggested that individual would then have to address that in court themselves. 

I got that although I may have said it poorly.

It has to be a crime that would make you eligible for deportation.  Do misdemeanors qualify?
