Oral Argument in Patel v. Garland

Today, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Patel v. Garland. Here is a copy of the transcript. Bloomberg Law, for one, sees oral argument as indicating that SCOTUS is “likely” to side with Patel over Garland. A ruling in favor of Patel would mean that federal courts would have jurisdiction to review non-discretionary determinations by immigration courts about eligibility for adjustment of status under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i).
