The Judge of the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, denied on Wednesday an emergency appeal of four Mexican citizens who face deportation. The request asked the Court to temporarily block their removal to be able to present a formal review of review.
Kagan denied the request without comments and did not send the matter to his colleagues in the Court.
The petitioners, Fabian Lagunas Espinoza, Maria Angelica Flores Ulloa and her two children, received the order to inform immigration officials on April 17. His legal team argued that they face poster if they returned to Mexico.
According to its judicial presentation, the family fled from Guerrero, Mexico, in 2021 after being threatened by the Los Rojos cartel. The petition declared that the members of the poster demanded the family vacancy in their home within 24 hours or being killed.

This ruling was confirmed by the Immigration Appeals Board in November 2023, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision in February 2025. A temporary suspension of elimination was built on April 7.
The emergency appeal before Judge Kagan argued that the lower courts and the immigration authorities did not achieve credible evidence and claims of due process.
