Supreme Court of the United States

Garland v. Gonzalez

June 17, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court held that Section 1252(f)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act deprives district courts of jurisdiction to grant class‑wide injunctive relief, reversing the Ninth Circuit and remanding the cases. The Court based its decision on a textual reading of the statute’s prohibition on "enjoining or restraining the operation" of INA provisions, with the exception limited to an individual alien.
