We argued our case a little over a month ago in front of the U.S. supreme Court. I'm assuming that's going to come out this coming month in June. And honestly, The law is so clear, it says that they shall detain these people until their hearing or send them back to their country of origin. There's not a lot of wiggle room. I'm hoping the Supreme Court doesn't find wiggle room that's not there. If that happens, this is a significant victory for us. (03:25–03:32)
