Rajah v. Mukasey

Facts

Following the September 11 attacks, the Attorney General implemented a Special Call-In Registration Program requiring non-immigrant alien males over 16 from designated countries to register. The petitioners complied with this Program but were subsequently placed in deportation proceedings due to their immigration status. They argued that the Program lacked statutory authority and violated their constitutional rights, leading to their deportation orders.
