Unusual Supreme Court Majority Rules in Favor of Guatemalan Who Entered U.S. Illegally

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court opened a door Thursday that could let thousands of noncitizens avoid deportation, ruling 6-3 that federal agencies failed to properly notify individuals about the time and place of removal proceedings.: Conservatives who focus on legislative text—Justices Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett—joined liberals Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, who tend to read ambiguous provisions in immigrants’ favor.

The case marked the second time in three years the court found the government failed to follow deportation procedures set forth in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. The law states that the government must serve “a notice to appear” with essential details on individuals it seeks to deport. “These include the nature of the proceedings against the alien, the legal authority for the proceedings, the charges against the alien, the fact that the alien may be represented by counsel, the time and place at which the proceedings will be held, and the consequences of failing to appear,” Justice Gorsuch wrote.

The last element carried particular significance, because noncitizens with clean records who demonstrate continued presence for a specified period, typically 10 years, can qualify to remain in the U.S. if deportation would cause hardship to their children or other relatives who are American citizens or lawful residents.

So federal agencies can now purposely “fail” to do its duty and effectively eliminate any deportation action?

Free speech should apply to everyone everywhere Umm... She bad mouthed her school and was cut from the squad. How is this a First Amendment violation? Looks like natural consequences to me. She wasn’t imprisoned and her civil rights weren’t violated. Cheerleading, last time I checked, isn’t a civil right. What am I missing?
