The Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6-3 against a Los Angeles woman who argued her constitutional rights were violated when the federal government denied a visa to her Salvadoran husband, in part because they viewed his tattoos as gang-related. Luis Asencio Cordero, who lived in the U.S. until 2015, has been separated from his wife, L.A. civil rights attorney Sandra Muñoz, since the visa was denied during a consular interview in El Salvador.
The Biden administration asked the Supreme Court to reverse the ruling, arguing that because Muñoz and Asencio Cordero could choose to live outside the U.S., her right to marriage has not been violated. Immigration officers have broad discretion about whom to admit into the country, administration lawyers said.
