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.
Ha.Ha.Ha thou shall not kill.
A bunch of people here reading the misleading highlights of this article. I bet NPR is proud of feeding BS propaganda that an officer can shoot people for no reason. You guys should be held at a higher standard. The kid threw rocks towards the Agent and a suspect and he got shot.
I know our mexican justice system is pretty corrupt and im in no way trying to compare it to the US´s. But this is bullshit and anyone with a brain knows this. So much for JUSTICE, especially coming from a country that claims to be the leader of the free world.. All Bullshit!
There are people who will defend this man and this decision. If you can even call them people.
Truly disgusting.
MAGA
How does this work with laws set forth by the Geneva Convention and laws against humanity? Is this not an act of terrorism against another country? HI_UnitedStates UNHCRUSA UN UNHumanRights newhumanitarian equalityconcern HRC hrw humanrights1st
Murder
JohnRoberts_CJ really sad to see the ruling in this case. Would it be OK for Mexican border guards to shoot American citizens on the Mexican side and they couldn’t be sued in Mexican courts?
Ok so North Korea or Russia Drops a war head on us by this logic we have no recourse?
Without the Supreme Court to protect us, we become a lawless nation. People count, including those from other countries. Disturbing.
Not only despicable that the CBP agent shot and killed a 15 yo but the kid was in Mexico. Shooting someone across the border could start a war. Lucky he wasn’t a kid of the cartel. Deaths of Americans
This is a complete miscarriage of justice and unacceptable. The Supreme Court has basically given border guards a licence to murder unarmed individuals, be they Mexican or not, and the security of knowing they'll never be held accountable. AmericanGestapo TrumpsAmerica
SS Gestapo agents were not accountable for killing Jewish people outside of Germany.
Shameful.
... this is fucked
So sad. Borders shouldn’t mean death or cages for children.
Excellent
Just unbelievable. We truly expect this body to be above reproach and now trump has sullied even the scotus.
Simple, it's a murder. If the case was a Mexican authority shooting a US child in US soil, what kind of justice do they think deserve?
Does this mean a Canadian or Mexican officer can shoot a US kid across the border now with no repercussions?
Shooting children while they playing is right
But the officer should be held accountable and the gov should compensate the death
Supreme Court Lifts US Agents' Restrictions on Murder
So agent who was using children for target practice exonerated by GOPSCOTUS ⁉️‼️😳
Boarder agent kills a child on the other side of the boarder offering no threat to his or anyone else's life, and we do no charge him and the parents can not be compensated . Not Trumph but America.
The great experiment in democracy is over. Thanks GOP RIPAmerica
Flaunting the authorities is not a defense for anything.
🙄
Seems like a fair and balanced response. Also, if Mexican Border Agents kill Americans they have zero consequences too. 🤦🏼♂️
So has a Mexican border agent ever shot an American citizen standing on the US side?
Direct result of Trump's election, thanks to Bernie bros who didn't vote,or voted for Trump, those who gave protest vote to Jill Stein, and those who stayed home cause Dems didn't have their 'perfect' candidate
I'm rooting for coronavirus for that specific border agent. ActofWar stopkillingchildren TrumpsConcentrationCamps TrumpsKidnappingChildren
This is wrong. But what did you expect from the USSupremeCourt control by Republican party hacks? A court has two sexual criminals and a Christian fascist and has a Chief who is a corporate owned punk. They are bowing to trump and Authoritarian rule of the Oligarchs.
When will we Democrat’s wake up to the importance of the Court. Not one question in last nights debate
🙄😱
EXECUTING children is now viewed as target practice for law enforcement by the Republican RACIST FOURTH REICH SUPREME COURT. FDRLST YaleFedSoc
The cruelty is the point. A Border Patrol agent called migrants 'subhuman.' Then he purposefully hit one with his truck.
rule of thumb ; fu==ka with cop as==a gets hurt ; usa , mexico , cuba , kenya , germany , india , china , outer mongolia ......
So gringos can kill Mexicans on the other side without repercussion, I wonder if it works the other way around.
Stacked court!!!
As an American citizen the patrol agent will likely be charged. What the headline readers and gas-lighters don’t get is, a non citizen in a boarding country cannot sue into this nation. Rightfully so, that would be absurdly powerful. Unfortunate regarding the death.
WE NEED TERM LIMITS AND DEMOCRAT VS REPUBLICANS OR VISA VERSA... IN SUPREME COURT...WE NEED EDUCATED MEN AND WOMEN IN OUR LAWS, WHO GOES BY OUR CONSTITUTION... COMPASSIONATE EXPERIENCED PEOPLE WITH WISDOM...NOT POLITICAL IDEALS
This is trump's government now and he's making it clear to police and military they can do as they please and to criminals that support him, they too, are carefree.
5-4 for trump. Don't bother
This country has turned into a militaristic fascist dictatorship that's fine with killing children under das fuhrer Drumph.
Surprising with a conservative majority that doesn't see Mexican people as people SupremeCourt
People need to come legally
As it should be...
Doesn't seem just
Seriously fucked up. Supreme court is at an all time low in American history.
Very sad, I guess Usa did nothing wrong killing thousand of japanese with 2 atomic bombs almost 80 years ago; the japanese where in Japan and the bombs were launched from the sky.
Supreme garbage court. Corrupt as Trump.
It is brutal but it sort of makes sense. They want to shoot to people crossing the border to stop them from crossing. I guess? But this kid was just playing and he was 15. Sad.
So much for respecting precedent huh
💔That is not right. Not at all.
This is trump's supreme court. Human rights be damned.
This is totally f**ked up
Good. Why should American service men be liable from lawsuits from illegals?
This is injustice at its core.
Shame!
The Supreme Court said border patrol agents can shoot immigrants with no repercussions
Disgusting.
