Thomas, Gorsuch, and Barrett join liberals in immigration case

(Worthy News) – Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, on Thursday, joined the liberal wing of the Supreme Court to rule against the federal government in an immigration case.

The case, Niz-Chavez v. Garland, concerned a technical question about how the government sends deportation notices to nonresidents who have been living in the United States. The court held that the government must send a single notice in order to trigger the “stop-time rule,” a provision of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 that ends a nonresident’s claims on a “continuous stay” in the country. The federal government, up to that point, had sent multiple forms giving piecemeal information about nonresidents’ deportation hearings.

Gorsuch, in his majority opinion, wrote that the court’s ruling hinged on the fact that Congress, in adopting the act, wrote that the federal government must send nonresidents “a notice.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]

Unusual Supreme Court vote rules illegal immigrant can avoid deportation on a technicality

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of an illegal immigrant who was facing deportation, stating that they are entitled to discretionary relief because the government did not follow the rules.

Federal law says that an illegal immigrant in such a situation can avoid deportation at the attorney general’s discretion if they have been in the U.S. for at least 10 years. The clock officially stops when they receive “a notice to appear” with information about their hearing. But in cases like plaintiff Agusto Niz-Chavez’s, the government sent multiple documents containing different pieces of information. The court’s majority ruled that because the law says “a” notice, that means it must be a single document. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
