A defendant charged with illegally reentering the United States after being deported isn’t automatically entitled to argue the removal was invalid even if he was removed for a crime that was subsequently deemed not to be a removable offense, the Supreme Court heard.

The case, United States v. Palomar-Santiago, court file 20-437, was heard April 27.
