A federal judge on Aug. 18 ruled that a 92-year-old law that blocks illegal immigrants who have been deported from reentering the United States violates the U.S. Constitution because it’s “racially discriminatory.”

U.S. District Judge Miranda Du, an Obama appointee, found in favor of illegal immigrant Gustavo Carillo-Lopez, a Mexican native who was charged with reentering the country after being deported twice.
