Barton v. Sentner

Facts

The case arose from a legal challenge concerning the interpretation of 242 (d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. The Supreme Court had previously ruled on clause (3) of this section in United States v. Witkovich, but the current appeal involved clauses (1) and (4), which had not been addressed in that case. The dissenting justices expressed concern that the ruling would hinder the Attorney General's ability to manage internal security issues effectively.
