Castro v. Department of Homeland Security
Petition for certiorari denied on April 17, 2017
Issue: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit erred in holding that the petitioners are not entitled to judicial review of their statutory, regulatory and constitutional claims, even by habeas corpus, and are "prohibited from invoking the protections of the suspension clause" to challenge their removal; and (2) whether the 3rd Circuit erred in concluding, contrary to every other circuit to address the issue, that persons who have entered the United States may be "assimilated" to the constitutional status of noncitizens arriving at our borders, and thereby denied constitutional rights.
