Supreme Court sides with transgender woman over deportation dispute in unanimous decision
Fox News
The Supreme Court Thursday unanimously sided with a Guatemalan transgender woman who arrived in the U.S. as a migrant and is fighting deportation.
Santos-Zacaria earned favor from all nine justices who said that she did not have to exhaust all the administrative remedies available under the Immigration and Nationality Act in order for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to have the jurisdiction to hear her appeal. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Santos-Zacaria allegedly fled to the United States and sought to remain permanently under a statute that offers protection to immigrants if they can prove they are or will be persecuted in their native country because of "race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion."
