What it's about
The petition asks how federal immigration law applies when a challenge to detention also contests a person's removal.
Question presented
Whether, notwithstanding 8 U.S.C. 1252, an alien detained pending his removal proceedings may challenge that detention in a habeas petition based on claims that also go to the validity of his being removed?
What happens next
The Court must decide whether to hear the petition. No oral-argument or decision schedule exists unless the Court first agrees to review the case.
