Supreme Court of the United States

Johnson v. Arteaga-Martinez

June 13, 2022596 U.S. 573

Summary

The Supreme Court held that 8 U.S.C. §1231(a)(6) does not require the government to provide bond hearings after six months of detention with the burden on the government to prove flight risk or danger. The Court reversed the Third Circuit and remanded for further proceedings consistent with that interpretation. It declined to resolve the constitutional due‑process claim and left jurisdictional questions for the lower courts.
