Argued October 13, 1992.Decided March 23, 1993.
CHACÓN, J. delivered the opinion of the Court.1
This case concerns the liberty interests of children who are being detained by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS or “the Service”) pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 242.24 (1988). These children pose no risk of flight and no threat of harm to themselves or to others. Responsible adults are available to receive and care for them. But because they are not citizens and have no legal guardians who can claim them, they are currently being detained, often in troubling conditions, while the government determines whether they are to be deported.
