U.S. Supreme Court Tosses Law Used to Deport Convicted Criminals

Recommended Posts

The U.S. Supreme Court threw out a provision in federal immigration law that was used to deport foreigners convicted of serious crimes.

 

The justices, voting 5-4 Tuesday on the core question, said the laws definition of "crime of violence" was so vague as to be unconstitutional. People convicted of a violent crime are subject to mandatory deportation, meaning government officials dont have discretion to let them stay.

Minor setback, but I can see the point. All Congress has to do is rewrite to make it more specific and all will be well.

 

You think congress will actually have the balls to do that? Won't happen.
