IMMIGRATION NEWS BITES FROM J. JOSEPH COHEN
May 20, 2022 – Supreme Court Rules Against Reviews – Many immigration decisions involve discretion by the immigration judge or other official in granting a benefit. In an appeal that originated in the immigration court, the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that appeals to the federal courts of discretionary decisions are very limited. In this split 5 to 4 ruling decision, the dissenting opinion stated: “Today, the Court holds that a federal bureaucracy can make an obvious factual error, one that will result in an individual’s removal from this country, and nothing can be done about it.”
