Gorsuch and Roberts Side with Liberal Justices ‐ Illegal Alien Can Ignore Deportation Deadline If It Falls on a Weekend or Holiday

[Gateway] In yet another blow to immigration law enforcement, the Supreme Court today ruled 5—4 in Monsalvo Velázquez v. Bondi that illegal aliens granted voluntary departure under federal immigration law can remain in the United States past their court-ordered departure deadline—if that deadline happens to fall on a weekend or legal holiday.

Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, joined by Justices Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, effectively rewriting the meaning of a "60-day" voluntary departure period to accommodate the convenience of deportable individuals, not the rule of law.

At the center of the case was Hugo Monsalvo Velázquez, a Mexican national who entered the U.S. illegally nearly two decades ago and was ordered to leave within 60 days.

His departure deadline fell on a Saturday, but instead of leaving, he filed a motion to reopen his case on the following Monday.

#1 A ruling that supports procrastination.

#2 ...because we're sure that no illegal will commit a crime on a weekend or holiday. Right? What a title for a movie...."Death takes a Holiday"
