By a 5-4 decision, the US Supreme Court decided that if an illegal immigrant doesn’t show up for an immigration hearing, they can be deported without further bureaucratic rigamarole. I know, I know, that should be self-evident, but this is where we are with enforcing our immigration laws. The decision is Campos-Chaves vs. Garland, one of three cases bundled together to decide what level of notice an illegal immigrant must have of an immigration court proceeding before the court’s decision is valid. Campos-Chaves comes from the Fifth Circuit; the other two cases, Garland vs. Singh and Garland vs. Mendez-Colin, come from the Ninth Circuit. Alito wrote the decision and was joined in his defense of reading comprehension by Roberts, Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. Gorsuch joined the liberal wing in arguing that reading doesn’t matter.
