BREAKING: In 7-2 vote, U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that some people seeking asylum in the U.S. can be fast-tracked for deportation and cannot challenge that decision in federal court.
The ruling was a defeat for Vijayakumar Thuraissigiam of Sri Lanka, who was detained by federal agents 25 yards north of the U.S.-Mexico border. He said that as a member of his home country's Tamil minority, he faced harm if returned and had once been kidnapped and beaten, though he said he wasn't sure why he was assaulted.
In their dissent, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan said the court was wrong to rule that constitutional protections don't apply to asylum-seekers"who challenge the procedures used to determine whether they may seek shelter in this country or whether they may be cast to an unknown fate." The decision"increases the risk of erroneous immigration decisions."
