Supreme Court Denies Visa for Spouses of US Citizens
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against a Los Angeles woman, Sandra Muñoz, who claimed her constitutional rights were violated when her Salvadoran husband's visa was denied due to alleged gang affiliations. The ruling, led by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, determined that U.S. citizens do not have a constitutional right to bring their noncitizen spouses into the country. The decision is seen as a significant setback for Americans with foreign spouses and could complicate future litigation for families in similar situations.
