| Question presented | Whether, under EAJA, "any civil action" encompasses an action seeking a writ of habeas corpus to challenge civil immigration detention? | Whether an unauthorized alien who intentionally uses a false Social Security number to obtain employment is eligible to recover for work performed under the Immigration Reform and Control Act (“IRCA”) of 1986, and this Court’s ruling in Hoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. v. NLRB, 535 U.S. 137 (2002)? | 1. Whether 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) mandates the detention pending removal proceedings of aliens who, like respondents, are present in the United States without having been admitted? 2. Whether detaining respondents without a bond hearing during their removal proceedings comports with due process? |
| Summary | This case asks whether a person who wins a habeas corpus challenge to civil immigration detention may recover attorney’s fees and costs from the federal government under the Equal Access to Justice Act. The Court will decide whether such a habeas case counts as a “civil action” under that law. | Marmic, LLC and Mike Ruane ask the Supreme Court to review a New Jersey ruling allowing Sergio Lopez to seek payment for work he performed. The petition argues that Lopez, an unauthorized worker who allegedly used a false Social Security number to obtain the job, cannot recover under federal immigration law and the Court’s decision in Hoffman Plastic Compounds. | This pending case concerns whether federal immigration law requires immigration officials to detain certain noncitizens who are in the United States without formal admission while their removal cases are pending. It also asks whether holding those individuals without a bond hearing during those proceedings violates the Constitution's due process guarantee. |
