Supreme Court to Hear Oral Argument in Asylum Case
The Supreme Court will hear argument in Urias-Orellana v. Bondi on December 1. The question presented is how much deference the courts of appeals should give to a determination by the Board of Immigration Appeals that an individual seeking asylum has not been persecuted. The Trump administration agreed in this case that the Supreme Court should grant review to resolve confusion in the courts of appeals about the proper standard of review.
