The Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6-3 against a Los Angeles woman who argued her constitutional rights were violated when the federal government denied a visa to her Salvadoran husband, in part because they viewed his tattoos as gang-related.
Luis Asencio Cordero, who lived in the U.S. until 2015, has been separated from his wife, L.A. civil rights attorney Sandra Muñoz, since the visa was denied during a consular interview in El Salvador.
The couple sought to file a new visa application with evidence refuting his alleged membership in the MS-13 gang, and wanting assurance that the federal government would review it.
The government said it denied the visa due to concerns that Asencio Cordero would be likely to engage in unlawful activity if he were allowed back into the U.S.
Separately this week, President Biden announced an executive order to protect immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens who have lived consecutively in the country for at least a decade.
At the White House on Tuesday, Biden said it’s the right thing to do.
“There’s already a system in place for people we’re talking about today,” Biden said. “But the process is cumbersome, risky, and it separates families. From the current process, undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens must go back to their home country... to obtain long-term legal status.
They have to leave their families in America, with no assurance they’ll be allowed back in the United States.”

Is there a new leaker at the Supreme Court?
Just days ago, the Biden regime announced a radical new executive order to legalize the immigrant spouses of citizens, even if those immigrants were in the U.S. to commit crimes or were here legally. It was very strange timing for such an oddly specific EO.
Now we know why: the Supreme Court ruled today in a 6-3 decision that the U.S. is not required to admit immigrant spouses of American citizens in a case involving an MS-13 member whose spouse was a U.S. citizen and who demanded legalization.
So the question now is: who, exactly, is leaking information on rulings to the Biden White House?

Wow. Nothing they do should shock us at this point, but sometimes the raw corruption is still staggering.
Every single thing this administration does is designed to undermine the rule of law in advancement of permanent power.
As it turns out, the Supreme Court is as 'locked down' as the rest of our 'secure' government institutions.
@SelfishDeficitForward2yrs2Y
This is a YUUUGGGEEE win! This just foiled Briben’s BS pathway to citizenship for illegals coming here pretending to marry citizens or paying to get married all for citizenship.
There is no constitutional reason for Biden’s action. It’s a giveaway that hurts ordinary American citizens.
