Eleventh Circuit Upholds Jurisdictional Stripping in Immigration Adjustment Case
In the case of John Doe v. Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, adjudicated by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on March 20, 2023, the court addressed significant issues pertaining to the jurisdiction of federal courts over immigration-related administrative decisions.
Summary of the Judgment
The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a per curiam opinion affirming the District Court's dismissal of Ahmed's lawsuit. The court primarily upheld the District Court's determination that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i), which explicitly strips federal courts of jurisdiction to review decisions regarding the granting of relief under § 1255 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
