Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996
SCOTUS Upholds Expedited Removal of Undocumented Immigrants
The Supreme Court held that the limits set by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 do not violate the Suspension Clause in Article I of the Constitution. This decision denies undocumented immigrants the right to habeas corpus review of the government’s removal decisions.
