Kagan denies migrants’ request to delay deportation, letting removal proceed without Court review
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan on Wednesday denied an emergency appeal by four Mexican nationals facing deportation. The request asked the court to temporarily block their removal so they could file a formal petition for review.
Kagan denied the application without comment and did not refer the matter to her colleagues on the court.
The petitioners, Fabian Lagunas Espinoza, Maria Angelica Flores Ulloa and their two sons, were ordered to report to immigration officials on April 17. Their legal team argued they face cartel violence if returned to Mexico.
According to their court filing, the family fled Guerrero, Mexico, in 2021 after being threatened by the Los Rojos cartel. The petition stated that cartel members demanded the family vacate their home within 24 hours or be killed.
It also included details of past violence against extended family members, including beatings and threats following refusals to cooperate with the cartel.
The family entered the U.S. unlawfully and sought asylum and an immigration judge denied their claims.
That ruling was upheld by the Board of Immigration Appeals in November 2023, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision in February 2025. A temporary stay of removal was lifted on April 7.
The emergency appeal to Justice Kagan argued that the lower courts and immigration authorities failed to consider credible evidence and due process claims.
Under Supreme Court procedures, each justice handles emergency appeals from a specific circuit. As the justice assigned to the Ninth Circuit, Kagan had the authority to act alone or refer the case to the full court.

I will be going to Mexico to have my teeth worked on.
Ciudad Juárez?
Wait, who, what?
Okay, who’s impersonating Kagan? And Bravo!
Ideally, this order should impact Boasberg’s contempt ruling.
I considered doing that. A good friend of mine goes to Los Algodones for his dental work.
So I did some research, digging into related Internet forums and reviews. There are plenty of happy customers, but there are also far too many who add to their reviews months later when the crowns leak.
So, spread it all over the media that they’re being sent back. They won’t last a week before the cartel gets them.
Say what? Illegals can LEGALLY kicked out of the country?? This should decide it, dudden it?
Yeah, who kidnapped Kagan and replaced they/them with this surgically altered imposter?
Now the commies are going to go after Kagan for not being commie enough
Kagan is the most reasonable of the three lefties. That’s not to make her out as some great hero or anything, but if any one of them will break ranks it will be her. She’s at least been cordial in the past, to Trump when she’s attended state of the union addresses.
Alex Jones has been predicting false-flags atrocities just like that. They are getting more desperate by the day.
Agreed. Actually, RGB was like that.
“the family fled Guerrero, Mexico, in 2021 after being threatened by the Los Rojos cartel.”
Mexico is a fairly large country, move somewhere else inside your own country, not ours.
The thing is, we have a process for removal (called “due process”. Go figure.) that has to be followed. If the process has been followed, you don’t get to have the ruling overturned just because you don’t like the outcome. Kagan at least is competent enough to understand that. Brown and Sotomayor are not, which is disgraceful coming from the highest court in the land.
Kagan? Wow! I am surprised.
Amy Coney Barrett is in the “lefty” camp now.
