The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal courts lack jurisdiction to review visa revocations in instances of fraudulent marriages for immigration purposes. This indicates that the Department of Homeland Security possesses ultimate authority in these matters.
The unanimous ruling clarified that courts may examine initial visa denials; however, they lack the authority to intervene once the Department of Homeland Security rescinds an approved visa.
The decision illustrates the significant authority the DHS wields over visas, potentially influencing the enforcement of immigration laws, including President Trump’s proposals to amend immigration legislation and increase deportations.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, appointed by President Joe Biden, authored the court’s opinion and characterized the decision as “a quintessential grant of discretion” to the DHS. “Congress did not establish explicit criteria or conditions to constrain this authority, nor did it specify how or when the Secretary must act.” The majority stated, “Context underscores the discretionary nature of §1155,” the statute permitting the government to revoke approved visa petitions.
The ruling stated, “The Secretary ‘may’ revoke a previously approved visa petition ‘at any time’ for what the Secretary deems to be ‘good and sufficient cause,’” with a unanimous decision of 9-0.

This ruling seems to directly target any congresswomen who married their brothers.
This is a double-edged sword. Justice Jackson is salivating about the use of this discretion wielded by the next dimocrat administration.
Bye bye, Ilhan Omar!!!
This ruling seems to only apply to visa revocations, but a unanimous ruling seems significant for all over immigration cases.
Nice!
I’ll die of old age before a Democrat is back in the White House.

Good start and a long way to go.
I think so!
You expect to die in the next 3 years?
It was a nice surprise.
IK,R?
I hope that is true and....you live a long life. 😃
Actually, this happened because the Supreme Court doesn’t want millions of court cases making their way up to them, when the law is obvious.
“You expect to die in the next 3 years?”
That’s a tad insensitive. :-)
I would have phrased it “Sorry to see that you’ll be going so soon”.
Perhaps we can extend that poster’s existence past 2028:
- if the Democrats nominate a ticket as inept as Harris-Walz again, which they won’t (probably *can’t* even if they tried).
- if the Republicans nominate someone at least moderately inspiring and worth voting for (which, by itself, doesn’t always work — 2020 for example).
- if the swing states actually implement measures which facilitate election integrity instead of the rampant Democrat fraud which we were lucky to barely overcome in 2 of the past 3 presidential elections.
- if a major miracle occurs and Republicans hold the House in November — and then actually DO SOMETHING with that control in 2027-28.
- if a minor miracle occurs and Republicans hold the Senate AND replace the spineless leadership with people who will get important things voted on AND PASSED (ditch the filibuster, whip the squishes into line — exactly as Democrats would/will do at the next opportunity).
In other words, give people a reason to vote FOR the Republican *party* for a change and not just the person at the top of it.
Is there a more reliable source ?
The post appears to refer to an incoming Trump administration.
I think this one targeted her specifically! That duck is now in a row with several others. If Trump had a Jeep he’s have a dash full of ducks!
