Garland v. Aleman Gonzalez
2022 United States Supreme Court case
Garland v. Aleman Gonzalez, 596 U.S. 543 (2022), was a United States Supreme Court case related to immigration detention.
Esteban Aleman Gonzales and Jose Eduardo Gutierrez Sanchez are native citizens of Mexico who were detained under the Immigration and Nationality Act after an illegal re-entry to the United States. They filed a class action claiming they were, after a six month detention period, entitled to a bond hearing where the government has to justify extending the detention period by proving they are dangerous or non-compliant.
The District Court certified a class and granted injunctive relief. The Ninth Circuit affirmed. The Supreme Court granted certiorari for the threshold question of whether the District Court had jurisdiction to grant class-wide injunctive relief under the INA. The case consolidated two class actions.
