Department of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam
Supreme Court of the United States (2020) | 140 S. Ct. 1959; 207 L. Ed. 2d 427
TL;DR: An asylum seeker, apprehended just inside the U.S. border, challenged a law that severely limited federal court review of his expedited removal order. The Supreme Court upheld the law, finding it did not violate the Suspension Clause or the Due Process Clause.
Legal Significance: This case significantly narrows the scope of habeas corpus review for aliens in expedited removal proceedings, affirming that the Suspension Clause does not guarantee judicial review of the substance of their claims and that aliens at the border possess limited due process rights.
