Melissa Crow: Immigration and Prison Sentences

melissa crow: According to an Associated Press review of Gorsuch's rulings, he has not written extensively about immigration policy during a decade on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, according to The Chronicle Herald. And the few rulings he has been involved in do not reveal how he might decide if given the opportunity to consider an immigration ban. But it's far from certain how he would vote. Many of the cases involved people challenging their prison sentences for returning to the U.S. illegally after having been deported. His record on immigration is a mixed bag, so it's hard to predict how he would rule on any challenge to the executive order, says Melissa Crow, legal director for the American Immigration Council, which challenged Trump's original ban. He has often been deferential to immigration authorities, but has also sided with immigrants. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
