Immigrants rejected for asylum may appeal removal orders, 9th Circuit rules
March 09, 2019 Maura Dolan - Los Angeles Times
A federal appeals court decided Thursday that immigrants who cross the border without authorization may go to court to appeal a decision by U.S. immigration authorities to deny them asylum.
The decision, by a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, could keep immigrants in the country for years while they challenge the government’s denial of asylum.
The appeals court reached the decision after concluding that a 1996 federal law restricting appeals violated the Constitution.
The case is likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
