The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that federal courts lack the authority to review visa revocations made by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in cases involving sham marriages. This decision underscores DHS’s broad discretion in immigration matters, particularly concerning visa approvals and revocations.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, writing for the court, emphasized that Congress granted the Secretary of Homeland Security the power to revoke an approved visa petition “at any time, for what he deems to be good and sufficient cause.” This language indicates a discretionary authority, thereby limiting judicial review of such decisions.
