United States Fourth Circuit

In a case in which a lawful permanent resident who was subject to removal sought and was denied a bond hearing, the district court's grant of a petition for habeas corpus is reversed, where the BIA's determination that removable criminal aliens are subject to mandatory detention, despite not having been detained immediately upon release from state custody, is based on a permissible construction of 8 USC section 1226(c).
