Marie Therese Halim Assa'ad v. United States Attorney General, Immigration and Naturalization Service

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that it was appropriate for an alien who entered the United States while her legalization application was pending and without travel documents to be placed in exclusion rather than deportation proceedings when her parole was subsequently terminated
• applying the principle that when Congress addresses an issue in one provision of a statute and is silent on that issue in another provision it is presumed to be intentional
• “When Congress uses language with a well-known legal meaning, [courts] generally presume that it was aware of and intended the statute to incorporate that understood meaning.”
• “The term ‘parole’ has a well-established meaning: that the alien is allowed into the country but remains constructively at the border, seeking admission and subject to exclusion proceedings.”
