Federal Judge: Supreme Court May Have Been Misled in Immigration Case

"The government may have misled the Supreme Court about its policies on helping improperly deported immigrants return to the U.S., possibly influencing a decision to make it easier to deport thousands of aliens, according to a ruling by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in New York.  The judge’s opinion requires the government to disclose by Monday internal emails in which Justice Department lawyers developed the claim they made to the Supreme Court." - Wall Street Journal, Feb. 10, 2012.
