Today the US Supreme Court will hear case No. 23-929. Hugo Abisai Monsalvo Velazquez v. Merrick B. Garland, Attorney General and case No. 23-825. Salvatore Delligatti v. United States. The US Supreme Court will first hear oral arguments in case No. 23-929, which concerns when a noncitizen's voluntary-departure period ends on a weekend or public holiday, is a motion to reopen filed the next business day sufficient to avoid the penalties for failure to depart? The Court will then hear oral arguments in case No. 23-825 which concerns a U.S. law establishing a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment for carrying a firearm during a crime of violence. The argument presented is whether a crime that requires proof of bodily injury or death, but can be committed by failing to take action, has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force. |
