Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, considered

one of the Court’s liberal voices, denied an emergency appeal from

a Mexican family facing deportation, siding with the Trump administration.

The family, who fled cartel threats in Guerrero,

Mexico in 2021, claimed they risk death if forced to return.

Despite detailed evidence of cartel violence, immigration courts denied their asylum claim.

Kagan declined to block their removal, choosing not to refer the case to the full Court.

Meanwhile, legal analyst Kerri Urbahn criticized

Chief Judge James Boasberg’s

handling of another deportation case, calling his actions

“desperate” after the Supreme Court vacated his order.

The case involved a deported MS-13 gang member whose return Boasberg demanded despite

the Court ruling it belonged in Texas, not Washington, D.C.
