In 2017, Vijayakumar Thuraissigiam, a Sri Lankan native, entered the United States without lawful permission by crossing the border with Mexico. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer apprehended Thuraissigiam and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began expedited removal proceedings. An asylum officer and later an immigration judge decided Thuraissigiam did not have a credible fear of persecution in Sri Lanka. Thuraissigiam filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. The district court dismissed the petition for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On appeal, the 9th Circuit reversed and remanded the district court's ruling. DHS filed a petition for review with the U.S. Supreme Court.
