Mellouli Seemingly Staves Off Removal
Lyle Denniston reports on SCOTUSBlog that the U.S. government‘s efforts to deport Moones Mellouli from the United States appear to have come to an end. As previously discussed on the ImmigrationProf blog, the U.S. government did not quickly give up in its deportation efforts after the Supreme Court’s decision setting aside the removal order based on a convictiom for possession of a sock (characterized as drug paraphernalia) in Mellouli v. Lynch. It now appears that the case has been settled and that Mellouli, who was removed from the country, can return to the United States.
