More on how this was screened

The Supreme Court's decision in Jennings v. Rodriguez displaced Leslie's reading of § 1226(c) as requiring a bond hearing once detention became unreasonable; the Third Circuit later recognized this partial abrogation in Guerrero-Sanchez v. Warden York County Prison. Leslie's separate holding that § 1226 governs detention during a judicial stay of removal continues to be applied by later courts. The confirmed treatment is listed below.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

31 later cases cite Leslie v. Attorney General of United States; 31 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
