In March 2008, the U.S. government cited Hirota v. MacArthur as "directly applicable" in _Munaf v. Geren _, 553 U.S. 674 (2008), in which it argued before the Supreme Court that U.S. federal courts lacked jurisdiction over two U.S. citizens being held by the military in Iraq and thus could not review their petitions for habeas corpus .
