I’m not sure why illegals/fake asylum seekers have any time at all to appeal once there is a final order

Supreme Court sides against migrant in deportation case

The Supreme Court installed a tighter timeline for removable migrants to challenge their deportations as part of its decision on Thursday in a case involving a Jamaican immigrant who had tried to avoid being sent back to his home country.

The Supreme Court found that once migrants receive a final order of removal, a 30-day window for them to seek review of that order is triggered.

The ruling was roughly 5-4, with the three liberal justices dissenting and Justice Neil Gorsuch joining most of the dissent.

Pierre Riley, the Jamaican national at the center of the case, had followed the law and challenged his final removal order in the immigration court system. But when he attempted to seek review from the appellate court of the immigration court findings, the appellate court said its hands were tied because it had been more than a year since Riley had received his initial removal orders.

IMO, once they have a final order, they should be deported, and, if they want to appeal being unlawfully present in the U.S. they can do it outside of the U.S.

Riley came to the United States on a six-month visa three decades ago. He never left, was arrested and convicted of drug felonies, and served in prison until 2021.

What the heck is there to appeal? Overstayed his visa. Civil crime for which the penalty is deportation. Convicted of felonies. Deportation. What else can he say? The law is pretty clear.

In this case, Riley argued to an immigration court that although he was removable, returning to Jamaica would put his life at risk, because a drug kingpin there had killed two of his cousins and would likely go after him, too.

First, that is not our problem. Second, pick a country and go if you do not want Jamaica.
