Intelligence Officers: Court Papers and San Francisco

intelligence officers: The high court's decision should come by early summer in the middle of the presidential campaign, according to CTV. It could have major implications for those seeking asylum and administration efforts to speed up deportations for many who enter the U.S. and claim they'll be harmed if they are sent home. The justices said Friday they will hear the administration's appeal of a ruling by the federal appeals court in San Francisco that blocked the quick deportation of a man from Sri Lanka. The court's intervention comes in the case of Vijayakumar Thuraissigiam. He fled the country in 2016, after he was tortured again by intelligence officers, he said in court papers. He is a member of the Tamil ethnic minority who says he was jailed and tortured for political activity during the civil war between the government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
