Supreme Court Decides In Favor Of Immigrant From Martha's Vineyard

In an 8-1 opinion today, the Supreme Court ruled that if an immigrant is given a "notice to appear" in immigration court, that it must designate a specific time or place. The case, Pereira v. Sessions, originated on Martha's Vineyard with a man who entered the country from Brazil 16 years ago and overstayed his visa.

The decision could affect thousands of immigrants living in the United States without authorization.
