Case Overview
A 2 year old U.S. citizen, represented by the National Immigrant Project of the National Lawyers Guild, filed a habeas petition requesting the court prevent her from deported.
The Application
History
V.M.L., a two-year-old U.S. citizen, filed a habeas petition challenging an attempted deportation under the Alien Enemies Act. The government sought to remove a constitutional citizen without initiating any denaturalization action.
The Conclusion
The court granted the habeas petition, preventing V.M.L.'s deportation and establishing that constitutional protections shield U.S. citizens from removal absent denaturalization.
