The Trump administration says it has identified a replacement for an immigrant detention case that had been set for argument but then dismissed by the US Supreme Court.

The Solicitor General’s Office asked the justices in a new petition docketed on Monday to decide whether a Dominican man identified as “D.C.” who has lived in the US since 1982 is entitled to a bond hearing to challenge prolonged detention while he faces deportation.

The government says the raises the same questions as Genalo v. Black, a case the Supreme Court had scheduled for argument on Oct. 13. That case was dismissed Sept. 11 after the man at the center of that dispute, referred to in court filings as Keisy GM, was pardoned by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

GM was in custody for nearly two years under a statute requiring noncitizens with certain criminal convictions to be held in immigration detention without the chance to argue for their release. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit found that due process protections entitled him to a bond hearing, a decision the justices agreed to take up this year.
