Supreme Court: Missouri Redistricting Case Back on Docket

The Trump administration, on Monday, filed two new petitions for review with the Supreme Court concerning distinct immigration issues, including the due process rights of noncitizens to bond hearings and the scope of district court authority over detention challenges. One petition sought review of an issue previously dismissed by the Court on September 11, concerning whether noncitizens possess a due process right to bond hearings during extended detention. The second petition challenged a district court's authority to hear claims from a noncitizen, Badar Khan Suri, contesting his detention while awaiting removal proceedings, particularly when those claims delve into the validity of the grounds for removal, an area typically outside district court jurisdiction. Additionally, the excerpt notes a separate development where opponents of Missouri's new congressional redistricting map, which favors Republicans, again asked the Supreme Court to prevent its use in upcoming November elections, with a response due today. Justice Elena Kagan also denied a request to intervene in a multistate custody dispute.
