Just finished #SCOTUS decision in #Preap. Most impt: it says _nothing_ re whether incarceration of these immigrants w/o bond hearings is constitutional. So we live to fight another day, just as in Jennings v. Rodriguez. We're already planning! @ACLU @ACLU_SoCal #not1more
A few more thoughts in the weeds: 1. As @WangCecillia (who brilliantly argued the case) @matt_cam & others have noted, the opinion departs dramatically from the plain meaning of the word "when," which it reads to mean "any time after" rather than, well, "when." slip. op at 12.
2. It also reads the critical "when ... released" language to not apply _at all_ to the whole clause immediately preceding it - subsection D - because if it did apply, the Court's reading would make no sense. Slip. op at 24.
