Liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan denied an emergency application to stop the deportation of four illegal aliens from Mexico.

The illegal alien family of four unlawfully entered the US in 2021 under the Biden Administration and claimed they were fleeing cartel violence.

Fabian Lagunas Espinoza, Maria Angelica Flores Ulloa and their two sons sought asylum but an immigration judge denied their claim. An immigration appellate court upheld the judge’s ruling and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals also affirmed the immigration court’s decision, according to Fox News.

The family was ordered to report to immigration officials on April 17.

Kagan denied the emergency application without comment.

Fox News reported:

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan on Wednesday denied an emergency appeal by four Mexican nationals facing deportation. The request asked the court to temporarily block their removal so they could file a formal petition for review.

Kagan denied the application without comment and did not refer the matter to her colleagues.
The petitioners, Fabian Lagunas Espinoza, Maria Angelica Flores Ulloa and their two sons, were ordered to report to immigration officials on Thursday. Their legal team argued they face cartel violence if returned to Mexico.

According to their court filing, the family fled Guerrero, Mexico, in 2021, after being threatened by the Los Rojos drug cartel. The petition stated that cartel members demanded the family vacate their home within 24 hours or be killed.
