The Supreme Court ruled that the parents of a 15-year-old from Mexico who was playing chicken with his friends when he was shot and killed by a U.S. border patrol agent cannot sue the officer who killed him.
The U.S. Supreme Court heard two immigration-related cases on Tuesday, including one about a cross-border shooting involving a border patrol agent.The U.S. Supreme Court heard two immigration-related cases on Tuesday, including one about a cross-border shooting involving a border patrol agent.Immigration and border-patrol issues took center stage at the U.S. Supreme Court in two cases on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court threw out the suit entirely and went much further, cutting the heart out of much of the court's 1971 decision. Alito said there is"a world of difference between" allowing damage claims that have been allowed in the past and a case like this one, where, Alito maintained, there were foreign policy and national security issues at stake. Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, would have gone further and outright overturned the court's 1971 decision and others that followed in its wake.
After the announcement of the ruling in the Hernandez case, the Supreme Court moved on to hearing arguments in another immigration case, but this one involved the First Amendment right of free speech.At issue was a statute that makes it a crime to encourage or advise illegal immigrants to stay in the country. Critics say the law could ensnare grandparents, ministers, lawyers and human rights activists.
It was this last conviction — for encouraging undocumented people to stay in the U.S. — that was before the Supreme Court Tuesday.
