SCOTUS made it difficult to hold them so they had to be released.

Pelosi echo? Then fix the effing law!

Here's from the article I linked to:

A 2001 Supreme Court decision, Zadvydas v. Davis, said that the government cannot indefinitely detain an immigrant just because that person’s country of origin declines to accept his repatriation. If the immigrant cannot be deported after six months, they must be released from custody.

However, according to ICE, immigration authorities can hold immigrants longer in a “very narrow category of cases involving special circumstances, including certain terrorist [activities] and dangerous individuals with violent criminal histories.”


seems we have grounds for stopping immigration from these countries.
