- Posture:
- Federal trial-court merits ruling — appellate review remained available
After a bench trial on a stipulated record, U.S. District Judge Noël Wise held that the challenged immigration provisions violated the First and Fifth Amendments as applied to visa cancellation and deportation enforcement based on protected speech. The decision granted declaratory relief in a federal trial court; the cited reporting did not establish a completed appeal, and the ruling did not categorically bar immigration enforcement based on conduct outside protected expression.
