Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices sided with liberal justices in the immigration case Wilkinson v. Garland.
The United States Supreme Court on Tuesday handed down an unusual decision in the case of an immigrant who argued that his deportation would create hardship for his son.The case, Wilkinson v. Garland, focused on a migrant from Trinidad and Tobago named Situ Wilkinson. Federal immigration agents have sought to deport Wilkinson, who argued that his removal from the U.S. would create 'hardship' for his son.
Several legal experts noted the unique coalition of justices agreeing on the ruling, which comes as the court continues to face criticism for appearing to become increasingly politicized in recent years.'Wilkinson v. Garland produces a 5-1-3 split at #SCOTUS, but not the 5-1-3 split you were expecting. Sotomayor joined by Kagan, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh. KBJ concurs in judgment. Chief, Alito & Thomas dissent,' legal commentator Jonathan H. Adler posted on X, formerly Twitter.
