The Supreme Court on Tuesday shut down an attempt to treat the testimony of asylum-seekers as credible, siding with the federal government against people seeking refuge in the country.
The court unanimously found that a previous ruling from the California-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit had incorrectly ruled that in immigration cases, noncitizens' testimonies must be treated as credible or true.
The court vacated the 9th Circuit's decision and sent it back to lower courts for further consideration.
SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST GREEN CARD HOLDER CHALLENGING DEPORTATION. In the case, two men, Cesar Alcaraz-Enriquez and Ming Dai, had sought to remain in the United States but were found ineligible based on discrepancies in their testimonies.
"The Ninth Circuit's rule has no proper place in a reviewing court's analysis," Gorsuch wrote of the circuit's decision to presume credibility on the part of the two men.
The case was the latest in a series of immigration decisions from the Supreme Court.
Previously, the court wound down a series of Trump-era immigration cases after the Biden administration changed the federal government's positions.
