A Right to Immigrate?
IRLI urges Supreme Court to reject radical lower-court ruling
WASHINGTON—The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) has filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court taking aim at a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision that expanded the right to habeas corpus for illegal aliens in the United States.
Until that decision, habeas corpus was a procedural mechanism for prisoners or detainees to claim in court that their rights to due process of law were being violated, and they were entitled to go free. And when it comes to illegal aliens, it has always been the law that the due process rights they are entitled to under the Constitution are limited to the procedural rights Congress has given them by statute.
