The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of an ‘undocumented immigrant’ challenging his deportation.
In an opinion authored by Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch, the high court said the Justice Department erred by not sending Agusto Niz-Chavez a single “notice to appear” during its efforts to deport him to Guatemala.
Instead, they sent him a notice of charges followed by a second letter with the date of his court appearance.
Niz-Chavez came to the United States illegally in 2005 and received his notice of charges in 2013. He challenged the government’s efforts to deport him because U.S. law says an immigrant can appeal their deportation if they’ve been in the United States for at least 10 years. The law also says that period of time is marked by when the immigrant receives a “notice to appeal.”
Niz-Chavez took the case to court, saying he never received a single “notice to appear” letter, and instead received the notice of charges and the letter with a date for appearance.
The high court voted 6-3 in his favor, with Chief Justice John Roberts, and Associate Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito dissenting.
“At one level, today’s dispute may seem semantic, focused on a single word, a small one at that,” Gorsuch wrote.
“In this case, the law’s terms ensure that, when the federal government seeks a procedural advantage against an individual, it will at least supply him with a single and reasonably comprehensive statement of the nature of the proceedings against him.”
Kavanaugh, who wrote the dissent, said he finds the high court’s decision “rather perplexing as a matter of statutory interpretation and common sense.”

Let me get this straight, a person is an illegal alien in our Country, they have no business being here, but because of our corrupt judicial system, the illegal alien is allowed to stay here.
Apparently there is no statute of limitation on stupidity.
ok you got it straight but where’s the common sense
When it comes to the idiots on the Supreme Court there is none……English must be a second language
AND their oaths of office, mean about as much as wet toilet paper..
I suppose the term “Common Sense” does not apply to the Not So Supreme Court?
Are they saying there is a “Statutory Limit” to how long a Illegal Invader can be convicted of the Crime of Invading Our County?
I can understand why the Liberal Looneys would vote in favor of the Criminal but the Supposed Conservatives????
Can anyone name a Branch or Department in Our Government that is not corrupt?
These days, no.. EVEN THE DOD is getting turned into yet another branch of the leftist will…
Maybe it’s me, but how does “illegal” people get legal, constitutional rights? A lot of them are “entitled” to free food, free shelter, free healthcare, free education, etc. Why would you not come here and now with these idiots running the show free bus rides any where along with free airline flights to parts of the country. What’s wrong with this picture? Go through the legal process and if we allow you to come here and go by the legal process we are ok with that.
Yup ! because these very smart Supremes don’t think that a letter with a Future court date IS NOT the same as a notice to APPEAR. WHAT ??
Come on man , their NUTS.
AND even if it WAS the same, when FACTS SHOW that barely 7% of those illegal invaders who GET those court dates ever show the hell up, WHAT EXACTLY is the point in handing them out, when you KNOW THAT it will not get adhered too?!?!?!
Remember the Obama Five? We now have the Biden Seven. No need for Biden to stack the court. Trump did that when he let three Liberals pull the wool over his eyes.
IT was not just him, they pulld the wool over the eyes of.. IT WAS EVERYONE else in congress, who voted them there.. Trump just nominated them..
WHICH MAKES you wonder, WHY THE LEFT fought so hard against ALL THREE of their appointments, IF THEY ALREADY WERE this liberal??
So send him a notice to appear and start the process over.
AND deport BORE_suck, right along with this illegal invader.
That probably won’t work.
In 2013 he had been in the U.S. for less than 10 years.
Now he’s been in the country for 16 years, so now he has a right to appeal the decision to deport him. He’ll probably die of old age before they can kick him out.
The court REFUSED to even take a look at the RIGGED ELECTION but has time to protect one illegal alien from being deported and maintain all his ‘constitutional rights’ in a country he isn’t even a citizen but a criminal. And what organization provided him a lawyer??
THe always commie lovers union, most likely.. IF IT is in favor of illegals, they are there.
I believe the ACLU never cared at all about civil rights. This says it all:
“I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself… I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.” Roger Baldwin Founder of ACLU. Baldwin was also a card carrying member of the American Communist Party.
WHICH makes you wonder, WHY IT WAS even allowed to form up in the first place, if the FOUNDER HIMSELF, flat out admitted that his END GOAL WAS the destruction of america…
The way I see it, if you’re an “Illegal alien” who entered the country “Illegally”, you have no “rights”.
Get the hell out.
Back in the old United States that’s the way things worked. Now days liberalism rules. That ruling most likely has made the left wing liberals happy. Don’t be surprised if the democrats award him citizenship, he’s just the kind of voters they are looking for.
If you think about it, it also sets a dangerous precedent.
AND to me, if you are a ‘US judge/politician, and you GIVE OUR RIGHTS To illegal invaders, while at the same time, doing all you can to DENY WE AMERICAN citizens those same rights.. YOU SHOULD GET YOUR RIGHTS stripped, right along side your citizenship, and get PERMANENTLY Exiled from the USA, ALONG SIDE YOUR ENTIRE family.. After seeing all you own, seized.
As long as people keep voting for Republican or Democrat liberals, things will keep getting worse. After Last November, the liberals own the voting and will have all the bugs worked out by next year. Even when the republicans were in Majority the liberals never lost control of Congress and, before Trump, there hasn’t been a conservative in the White House since Reagan. If Pelosi and Schumer get their way there will no longer be illegal aliens. It wouldm’t surprise me if they all get automatic citizenship as soon as they cross the border. That should add greatly to the Democrat voter base. If Joseph McCarthy was still alive, he would be saying “I told you so!’ WAKE UP AMERICA!
I’ve often said, Joe Mccarthy never went FAR ENOUGH IN his attempt to purge commies from our nation.. HE SHOULD HAVE Started with Academia and politicians first.. THEN WENT TO hollywood.
FTA: ‘The high court voted 9-3 in his favor”
9-3? Someone help me out here but I thought there were 9 Justices on the SCotUS. If my math here is right we’re looking at 12. Something ain’t right.
I caught that as well! That is a very egregious misprint, or they went ahead and packed the Supreme Court with three more flamingly insane communists sans any of the normal protocol, hearings or voting. Which wouldn’t surprise me at all at this point.
Maybe the 3 that dissented, ALSO agreed// A case of multiple personalities!?
My first thought was, “Holy cr@p, did they already start packing the court?” But really, I think it was a misprint. As far as the ruling, I wish “ruled in favor” was a misprint.
Typo fixed.
He is an Illegal Criminal, he has no rights.
What damn country is this ? I don’t even recognize it anymore.
Wait till the left wing democrats really get started with their rush to socialism. If they maintain their control of our government after the midterm elections next year, these United States of America will cease to exist.
It certainly is no longer looking like the great nation, i gave 20 years of my life, to defend.
I did not see that part where it said 9 to 3 but this shows that biden, harris, pelosi, etc are already planting ideas to the media so when they (biden, harris, pelosi, etc.) try to do this, it will already be considered a favorable idea no doubt
This Quote states just exactly the Hierarchy ,Nancy p., Joe Biden, and those elite democrats who are pulling Joe Biden’s String , Packing the Supreme Court with progressive Justices example . The Quote, ” The more often a Stupidity is repeated, the appearance of wisdom” By. Voltaire
Yes, by all means reward a criminal.
LAW NEEDS TO CHANGE ON THIS LIFETIME APPOINTMENT B.S.
if you are not gonna enforce laws then get fired!
I’ve been saying for years, ALL JUDGEs, especially these hacks in the scotus, need to be ELECTED POSITIONS BY we the people.. SO if they keep buggering up, and NOT HONORING their oaths to uphold our constitution, WE CAN Vote them the hell out.
This is such B/S Judge Neil should be removed for either doing the democrats parties business or for incompetence. To say that and Illegal Immigrant did not know he had a court date is moronic. The moment and Illgal immgrant is picked up they are told they broke the law coming here illegally and that they must go to court. They are given papers right then and there thanks to the stuupid catch and release over 90% of the illegal caught do not show up but its not do to a lack of not knowing or not being notified this is and insult to the American people who pay these judges six figures !
I wonder.. IS TRUMP regretting nominating the Commie in disguise, Gorsuch??
Who makes the law? How did the 10 year provision come about? Did the Supreme Court or was it some unelected rule maker? Can it ever be changed? Perhaps not as there are too many bleeding hearts out there that would complain about anything and everything when it come to the treatment of illegals.
What has happened to the Supreme Court since Biden got in office? Were the last 3 justices who we fought hard for just Democrats in Republican clothing????? Where is the fairness and adherence to the constitution????
IT more and more looks like all three of those, ESPECIALLY Gorsuch, were FLAT OUT COMMIES in republican clothing…
Going back over their performance, I for one have been unimpressed by their (the three new additions) seeming disinterest in the intent of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, or the desire of the real American citizens for true justice. Instead of dignified Justices of the Supreme Court they are acting more like the Three Stooges every day.
They are showing they are just as much of a bunch of jokers, as the 9th circus appeals court, has been, for decades.
Don’t you just love those conservative justices? Roberts is a sellout and Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett have become huge disappointments.
You don’t need to pack the court, Joe—they’re on your side already.
Trump helped him get it when he let three liberals pull the wool over his eyes. Remember the Obama Five? We now have the Biden Seven.
So he had 16 years of good living for nothing, so now its time to pay for his crime. so what.
