Supreme Court won't hear case challenging government's expedited removal of undocumented immigrants |
2017-04-18 |
[CNN] The Supreme Court on Monday left in place a lower court opinion rejecting claims by undocumented Central American women and kiddies -- who were apprehended immediately after arriving in the country without authorization -- seeking asylum. Lawyers for the families sought to challenge their expedited removal proceedings in federal court arguing they face gender-based violence at home, but a Philadelphia-based federal appeals court held that they have no right to judicial review of such claims. The court's action means the government can continue to deny asylum seekers placed in expedited removal a chance to have their cases heard by federal court. |

#6 Careful all. The case may have been untouched because of the Central American gender focus. Just as the immigration rules should be applied equally to all applicants, those they exclude should reflect a composition of all applicants with no gender, age, or sexual orientation specificity. |

#5 They lost Congress, lost the White House and now they've lost SCOTUS. Cool. |
