Sotomayor sees added 'burden' on same-sex couples in scathing dissent on SCOTUS immigration case
Fox News
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor penned a scathing decent Friday in a case surrounding the right of a U.S. citizen spouse to be granted a visa to live in the U.S.
The opinion comes in the case of Sandra Muñoz, an American citizen who married a citizen of El Salvador who was denied an immigrant visa to the United States. Muñoz sued the State Department over the issue, alleging the government did not provide sufficient reason to deny her husband a visa.
The State Department, meanwhile, argued that officials suspected the husband of being a member of the infamous MS-13 gang, citing tattoos the man has that seemingly signal affiliation with the gang. The couple has denied the accusation.
