4. President Biden is in charge of immigration federal laws.

As president, he has a lot of room to run the immigration program in the country. Trump did as well. Luckily President Biden changed all of Trump’s crap.

7. One of the opinions was written by Justice Sotomayor

It wasn't close. 8-1. (Well, more 8.5 - 0.5 since Breyer partially concurred and partially dissented).

The other opinion associated the case was written by Alito and also had a bipartisan mix.

The question before the court was whether the post-removal order statute authorized his prolonged detention, and if so, whether the government was required to provide a bond hearing before an immigration judge after six months of detention. In such a hearing, an immigration judge would consider the traditional bail hearing criteria of dangerousness and flight risk to determine whether a noncitizen should be released under federal supervision, in exchange for payment of a bond, pending resolution of the underlying immigration proceedings.

In an opinion by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court held that the text of the relevant statutory provision, Section 1231(a)(6), does not obligate the government to provide bond hearings after six months of detention. Seven other justices joined Sotomayor’s opinion in full. Justice Stephen Breyer concurred in part and dissented in part.
