Campos-Chaves v. Garland
2024 United States Supreme Court case / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campos-Chaves v. Garland (Docket No. 22-674) was a case before the Supreme Court of the United States. The case asks whether the government may comply with its obligations under 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a)(1) and (2) when it provides an initial notice to appear with a date and location "to be determined" and a subsequent notice with that information included.

Full case name | Moris Esmelis Campos-Chaves v. Merrick B. Garland, Attorney General |
Docket no. | 22-674 |
Case history | |
Prior | 54 F.4th 314 |
Questions presented | |
If the government serves an initial notice document that does not include the "time and place" of proceedings, followed by an additional document containing that information, has the government provided notice "required under" and "in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) of" section 1229(a) such that an immigration court must enter a removal order in absentia and deny a noncitizen's request to rescind that order? | |
Holding | |
Because each of the aliens in this case received a proper §1229(a)(2) notice for the hearings they missed and at which they were ordered removed, they cannot seek rescission of their in absentia removal orders on the basis of defective notice under §1229a(b)(5)(C)(ii). | |

The case is consolidated with Garland v. Singh and Garland v. Mendez-Colín (Docket No. 22-884). The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on January 8, 2024.[1][2] On June 14, 2024, the Supreme Court decided the case in the government's favor, ruling that the notice provided to the undocumented immigrants was sufficient to justify their removal by an immigration judge.
