WASHINGTON – It didn't take long for the newly reconstituted Supreme Court to find itself in familiar territory Wednesday: divided down the middle over illegal immigration.

Faced with a dispute over a federal law that calls for immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally and have criminal records to be detained without bond pending deportation, the justices split along ideological lines.

The court's liberal justices said the 1996 law required that any such detention begin immediately after the immigrants are released from jail or prison. In some cases, they noted, immigration officials pick them up years later, when they don't pose any danger or flight risk.
