(The Guardian) Supreme court immigration ruling backs Biden administration
The first supreme court decision of the day is in. It’s the case of United States v Hansen, a 7-2 ruling that concerns a man who ran an allegdly illegal adoption scheme to gain citizenship for foreign nationals.
It’s not one of the “big” cases. But it is being seen as win for the Biden administration in its defense of a law that criminalizes the solicitation or encouragement of improper immigration.
Supreme court rejects Texas and Louisiana challenge to Biden deportation policy
Justice Brett Kavanaugh has written the second ruling of the day, an 8-1 majority in the case of US v Texas.
The state was joined by Louisiana in challenging a Biden administration policy prioritizing groups of unauthorized immigrants, including suspected terrorists, convicts, and those caught at the border for deportation. The states wanted the authority to fight the policy in court.
The court holds that the states do not have legal standing to challenge the policy, another win for the Biden administration, especially since conservative justice Samuel Alito was the only dissent.
Kavanaugh calls it an “extraordinarily unusual lawsuit”.
Although Texas and Louisiana do not have a right to sue here, he says, “we do not suggest that federal courts may never entertain cases involving the executive branch’s alleged failure to make more arrests or bring more prosecutions,” he wrote, according to Scotusblog.
