United States v. Hansen

Summary

The Supreme Court held that 8 U.S.C. §1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) is not facially overbroad because its terms “encourage” and “induce” are to be read as specialized criminal‑law terms referring only to purposeful solicitation or facilitation of unlawful immigration acts. Accordingly, the Ninth Circuit’s overbreadth ruling was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with this interpretation.
