The U.S. Supreme Court will review a ruling the Trump administration says would undercut efforts to deport convicted criminals, accepting an appeal that touches on the debate over so-called sanctuary cities.

The case centers on people who are released after serving a criminal sentence and later arrested by federal immigration agents. A San Francisco-based federal appeals court said those people are entitled to a bond hearing, and the possibility of re-release, while the Department of Homeland Security presses its case for deportation.
