The recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court is Bad News for immigrants. The decision leaves the door open for deportation proceedings to begin again. The Supreme Court's decision re-opens the case of Noel Reyes Mata, who pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend and then was deported. The case is an extreme example of how immigration law has been abused by incompetent lawyers.
The Supreme Court ruled against immigrants who sought to appeal administrative decisions in federal court. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion in the case, while Justice Neil M. Gorsuch joined the liberal bloc in dissent. Gorsuch argued that the immigration judges had no power to overturn an immigration order, even if they'd erred in checking a box. The majority opinion said Congress gave the attorney general "room for mercy" and judicial intervention.
While the decision in the case of DACA is a big blow for immigrants, it is not the worst outcome for immigrants. There are many positives and some negatives to the decision. Although the Supreme Court has a history of ruling against immigrants, the ruling is Bad News for Immigrants
The decision by the Supreme Court may also mean that the Trump administration's plan to roll back the Obama-era DREAMers immigration program will be blocked. The Obama-era program protected 700,000 immigrants from deportation by providing temporary legal status. Under the program, qualified individuals brought to the U.S. as children were granted temporary legal status once they graduated from high school, were honorably discharged from the military, or passed a background check. However, Trump moved to roll back the program months after he took office. However, lower courts blocked Trump's move.
Unfortunately, the decision does not end there. There are still more bad news for immigrants from the Supreme Court. The ruling ruled that deportation of immigrants can be justified under the rule of law. But what are the consequences of a ruling like this for immigrants? What will the future hold for them? The ACLU is ready to fight for an America where immigrants are treated equally. We need to protect immigrants from deportation and stop these laws from taking our rights away.
Another case that has impacted immigrants is Jae Lee. Lee, a South Korean, spent most of his life in the United States. In 2009, Lee pleaded guilty to drug charges. His defense attorney assured him that he would not be deported. However, the judge found that his guilty plea was a serious offense, making deportation almost inevitable. Since then, Jae Lee has been in prison for seven and a half years. His Supreme Court lawyer, John Bursch, has been arguing for him to withdraw his guilty plea.
This case is a reversal of an earlier decision. The Supreme Court's decision will affect thousands of immigrants who are in the country illegally. While the decision may seem unfair, the court's ruling is a major setback for the government. If the Supreme Court allows this decision to stand, it will affect a majority of immigrants in the future.
