Justice Neil Gorsuch questions courts' role in immigration policy

The Supreme Court’s first day of oral arguments featured questioning by Justice Neil Gorsuch about the court’s role in applying the immigration policies administered by the president.

The justices on Monday reheard arguments in Sessions v. Dimaya, a case the high court first heard before Gorsuch joined the court. The Supreme Court’s decision to listen to arguments for a second time on the case about the deportation of non-citizens for committing crimes suggests the justices may be deadlocked and in need of Gorsuch’s input.
