By a 7-2 vote, the court upheld the law's preferences for Native tribes when American Indian children are adopted, ruling that the law does not impermissibly impose a federal mandate on traditionally state-regulated areas of power.

But when it came to the the preferences for placing children in Native foster and adoptive homes — whether the law unconstitutionally discriminates based on race — the court did not decide the issue because it said that the challengers, here prospective adoptive parents and the state of Texas, had not suffered a concrete harm and could not sue.

The case pitted prospective adoptive parents and Texas against the act, a federal law aimed at preventing Native American children from being separated from their extended families and their tribes.

After three and a half years, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal issued a favorable ruling yesterday in a published opinion on an asylum appeal I drafted. Not bad for my first immigration case!
The issue was whether the asylum seeker was "persecuted" in his home state of Somalia and whether he was "firmly resettled" in South Africa before arriving in the United States.

A Somali practitioner of Sufism who says he was targeted by Al-Shabaab in his home country and physically attacked as an immigrant in South Africa will have a fresh chance to show the Board of Immigration Appeals that he meets the criteria for asylum, the Ninth Circuit ruled.

The judges all agreed that climate change is an urgent, threatening problem, but ruled that the plaintiffs, who were between the ages of 8 and 19 when the suit was filed, didn’t have standing to sue. They also said that climate policies must come from the legislative branch. “The panel reluctantly concluded that the plaintiffs’ case must be made to the political branches or to the electorate at large,” according to the ruling.

Plaintiffs in the Juliana v. US lawsuit alleged the government violated the rights of young people to a safe climate.
