They pointed to the U.S. Supreme Court\u0027s 2001 decision in Zadvydas v. Davis that said the government can detain beyond 90 days immigrants who were admitted to the United States, but only so long as necessary to deport them. Immigrants must be released if deportation is unforeseeable, the Court said.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile separate district courts agreed deportation to Cuba was unforeseeable, the Ninth Circuit and 11th Circuits disagreed over whether Zadvydas applied to inadmissible immigrants.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe U.S. Supreme Court consolidated the two cases.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","question":"\u003Cp\u003EIn Zadvydas v. Davis (2001), the U.S. Supreme Court said admitted immigrants could be detained for deportation for more than 90 days, but no longer than reasonably necessary. Did this ruling apply to inadmissible aliens, such as Benitez and Martinez?\u003C\/p\u003E\n","conclusion":"\u003Cp\u003EYes. In a 7-2 decision delivered by Justice Antonin Scalia, the Court said the requirement that immigrants be detained no longer than reasonably necessary for deportation applied to both admissible and inadmissible immigrants. Because readmission to Cuba was unforeseeable, the detentions of Martinez and Benitez were unreasonable. The Court refused to give the same immigration statute different interpretations based on immigrants\u0027 characteristics.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","advocates":[{"advocate":{"ID":22617,"name":"Edwin S.
