EXCLUSIVE — White House trade adviser Peter Navarro asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to review his conviction for contempt of Congress in a challenge that holds the potential to strengthen the defenses available to Trump administration officials facing subpoenas if Democrats retake the House in November.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - The US Supreme Court agreed on Thursday to hear a dispute over a ⁠policy ⁠by President Donald Trump's administration that subjects millions of immigrants ⁠who entered the United States illegally to mandatory detention during their deportation proceedings.

Last week, the Supreme Court, without a word of explanation, allowed the Trump administration to send immigrants to countries where they have no prior contact, where they do not speak the language, and where they could face torture and death.

The Supreme Court kicks off its term Monday with cases involving climate change, President Trump's immigration policies and the Second Amendment among the most high-profile disputes.
