Perez-Guzman v. Sessions
Petition for certiorari denied on January 16, 2018
Issues: (1) Whether a court must defer to an agency's position under Chevron USA, Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council when the only ambiguity is a direct conflict between two statutory sections, which the agency has not addressed; and (2) whether the Immigration and Nationality Act's asylum provision affords a noncitizen in reinstatement proceedings the opportunity to seek asylum in the United States.
