LAS VEGAS — In a court ruling with potentially broad implications for U.S. immigration cases, a federal judge in Nevada found that a criminal law that dates to 1929 and makes it a felony for a person who has been deported to return to the United States is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Miranda Du in Reno, in an order issued Wednesday, found the law widely known as Section 1326 is based on “racist, nativist roots” and discriminates against Mexican and Latinx people in violation of the equal protection clause of the Fifth Amendment.
Section 1326 of the Immigration and Nationality Act makes it a crime for a person to enter the U.S. if they have been denied admission, deported or removed. It was enacted in 1952 using language from the Undesirable Aliens Act passed by Congress in 1929. Penalties were stiffened five times between 1988 and 1996 to increase its deterrent value.

Impeach this judge.
IDIOT! These types find racism under every rock. Its a form of mental illness.
Whew...what a stretch in Lost Wages.
Insane
Oh baloney! There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that says the U.S. government can't pass a law making it a felony to illegally enter the country. Also, the law is directed at all illegals who have been deported, not just those from south of the border. In the 92 years since that law was enacted, the majority of people who were deported were Europeans -- for example, Italian nationals who were members of the Mafia.
Black-robed tyrant.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
This ruling was about reentering after a person was already given an expedited removal. The second time they enter they get charged with 8 usc 1326 which is reentry after being deported. I agree that it is a ridiculous ruling just wanted to clarify that it is about reentry not the initial illegal entry.
“Miranda Du”. You see the problem.
Non assimilated foreigners are coming here by the millions and now taking positions of power. The USA is no longer governed by Americans. We are ruled by foreign globalist and anchor babies who want to do us harm. We are no longer a sovereign country.
Not sure how the Constitution applies to non US ciitizens.
Sounds as if this judge is the real racist here if one thinks about her ruling even just a little bit.
“ Impeach this judge.”
Exactly! Until these leftist judges ,who pull rulings from their bums not based on sound law, are removed, we are spinning our wheels.
CRT in the legal system.
This judge should be hanged just outside the court as a reminder to other traitors in black robes not to undermine the Constitution.
The judge must be a George Soros pay for play appointee.
The people who stay home and let Democrats win over RINOs should be HAPPY with this result, since it’s EXACTLY what they’ve been a part of.
Don’t worry. Surely this will be overturned on appeal. The Biden DOJ will get right on it.
“Don’t worry. Surely this will be overturned on appeal. The Biden DOJ will get right on it.”
Maybe (hopefully) so, but it could months before it reaches the Supreme Court (after going through the 9th Circuit).
In any case, all that the Dems need to do is string 8 or more years together in the White House, and they will also OWN the courts. At that point, they will do whatever the hell they want to the people they hate (i.e., us). Watch the Taliban, and you’ll see our future.
Hey, but at least those pesky RINOs would have been sent packing!!!! (although they’ll be halfway around the world, as most have the resources needed to get out in time)
And ‘nativism’ isn't racist - especially when the majority of the world is homogeneous and white folk be a world super minority
