Administration seeks Supreme Court review in new case after Hochul pardon voids prior detention dispute
The Trump administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to hear a new case, Genalo v. D.C., to resolve a circuit split regarding bond hearings for criminal noncitizens. This move replaces Genalo v. Black, which was dismissed as moot after New York Governor Kathy Hochul pardoned the central detainee. Solicitor General John Sauer requested the Court intervene before the Second Circuit rules, aiming to establish a uniform national standard for when prolonged detention triggers due process rights.
