Trump's choice Neil Gorsuch, sides with liberals to tip decision to immigrant in Supreme Court deportation case
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a law subjecting immigrants to deportation for crimes of violence is unconstitutionally vague, handing the Trump administration an early defeat.
The ruling was a victory for James Garcia Dimaya, whose two burglary convictions were considered violent crimes under the statute — despite not having involved violence. It was a defeat for the Justice Department.
The case is Sessions v. Dimaya, 15-1498.
