An Obama-appointed judge has ruled that a law criminalizing illegal reentry is racially discriminatory.

Judge Miranda Du of the federal District Court of Nevada decided that Section 1326 (which makes it a felony to reenter the country after deportation) was unconstitutional. She argued that the law was “enacted with a discriminatory purpose” and “has a disparate impact on Latinx persons.” Thus, it violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution.
