Supreme Court declines to restore deportation case closure policy
Original: Supreme Court declines to restore policy allowing immigration judges to close deportation cases
The US Supreme Court has declined to reinstate a policy that allowed immigration judges to administratively close deportation cases, a practice that let judges pause proceedings for immigrants with pending applications or low priority status. The decision limits immigration judges' discretion to dismiss or shelve cases, meaning more migrants will remain in active removal proceedings. Immigration advocates view it as a blow to case-by-case leniency, while supporters argue it restores enforcement of existing orders.
Why now: The ruling directly affects how hundreds of thousands of ongoing immigration cases will be handled in US courts.
