US Supreme Court slashes immigrants' rights in detention centres

Washington: The US Supreme Court has ruled that immigrants in detention centres have no right to periodic hearings to determine their possible release on bond, a decision that could lead to their indefinite detention.

The sentence is a tough blow for defenders of immigrants, since it



expands President Donald Trump's grip on migration policy and gives him greater discretion to hold foreigners in detention centres with no time limit.

The High Court justices were divided on the ruling on Tuesday, with three against and five in favour, the latter were all conservatives.
