SCOTUS: Expedited Removal Detainees Lack Habeas Rights
The Supreme Court rules 7-2 in Department of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam that individuals in expedited removal proceedings do not have a constitutional right to use federal habeas corpus to seek a full asylum hearing. The ruling dramatically limits judicial oversight of ICE's expedited removal authority, affecting hundreds of thousands of cases annually.
