On June 25, Justice Alito, writing for a five justice majority of the Supreme Court, issued the opinion in Department of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam, which is the Court's first Suspension Clause case in over a decade. The decision not only has implications for the way Suspension Clause questions will be decided in the future, but also for the immigration context in particular, given that the case involved the ability of an unlawful alien to access habeas proceedings upon his detention. The implications of the decision and its effect going forward will be the focus of this teleforum.Featuring: -- O.H. Skinner, Arizona Solicitor General
