New York Times Editorial
A stinging opinion by Justice Elena Kagan for a unanimous Supreme Court reinforced last month a message that lower courts have been sending for many years: the law applied in immigration cases too often fails to meet the standards of justice.
In Judulang v. Holder, the failure was total: a decision on deportation that made no sense. As Justice Kagan pointedly wrote, “We must reverse an agency policy when we cannot discern a reason for it.” That judgment, unfortunately, applies to much of the snarled and absurd processes in the immigration courts.
