Santos-Zacaria v. Garland

§ 1252(d)(1) , a statute governing when aliens can seek federal court review of removal orders issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

[1][2] The case was widely considered low-profile and uncontroversial,[3] although it received some attention because of Justice Jackson's decision to use the term "noncitizen" in place of "alien" and honor the petitioner's preferred name and pronouns.

[4] While LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights groups expressed support for Jackson's phrasing,[5] conservative sources argued that "noncitizen" was legally inaccuate and admonished the Court's majority for signing onto the decision.
