The Supreme Court agreed June 8 to review the refugee case of a Guatemalan national facing deportation who argues that U.S. immigration authorities failed to follow proper procedure in his case.

Cited as Niz-Chavez v. Barr, the case is an appeal from the Cincinnati-based 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. As is its custom, the Supreme Court didn’t explain why it agreed to review the case. The Trump administration favors deportation in the case.
