A court vacated a decision issued earlier this month that required Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold bond hearings within 90 days for immigrants arrested in the U.S.

A panel of three judges from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana, had held on July 2 that unjustified detention for an indefinite period would violate the Constitution. However, that decision was reversed on Monday after ICE and Department of Homeland Security officials appealed that judgment.

The court will consider the case in September. More than 61,000 immigrants held across the U.S. have petitioned federal courts for their release after ICE stopped providing bond hearings, which had been a precedent for decades.

The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a related case and resolve the issue in its next session, starting in October.
