Ann E. Marimow covers the Supreme Court.
The policy is a departure from past practice, when such migrants were generally allowed an opportunity to seek release after a hearing before a judge.
The justices previously announced that they would fast-track a separate case testing the administration's policy of deporting immigrants to countries where they have no ties, including nations that have faced allegations of human rights abuses.
Between the two cases, the justices will consider the legality of some of the most controversial aspects of the Trump administration’s efforts to rapidly expel millions of migrants living in the United States.
The justices also added two other cases to the docket of issues they will hear and decide by next June.
One is a Kentucky case about whether a federal religious discrimination law protects a group of Catholic priests who want to build a shrine to the Virgin Mary over neighbors’ objections. The other is a divorce dispute over military benefits originating in North Dakota.
