Riley v. Bondi

Decided June 26, 2025. Samuel A. Alito Jr. delivered the opinion of the Court.

Docket 23-1270 · 606 U.S. 259 · Cited 44 times

Holding

Order from the Board of Immigration Appeals denying deferral of removal in “withholding only” proceeding is not a “final order of removal” under 8 U. S. C. §1252(b)(1); the 30-day filing deadline to challenge a final order of removal under §1252(b)(1) is a claims-processing rule, not a jurisdictional requirement.
