Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan denies emergency appeal to halt deportation of Mexican migrants

Kagan, who oversees appeals from the Ninth Circuit, did not comment on her decision or refer the matter to the full court.

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan on Wednesday denied an emergency appeal to stop the deportations of four Mexican migrants who claimed they would be targeted by cartels if they returned.

The four filers, all family members, were ordered to report to immigration officials on Thursday for deportation, but attempted to get it delayed so they could file a petition for formal review, according to Fox News.
