Question presented

I. Is there an administrative remedy in the immigration courts to decide American citizens’ claims of a violation of their First and Fifth Amendment constitutional rights? II. Is an interpretation of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (“IIRIRA”), which precludes a judicial remedy for violation of American citizens’ constitutional rights, an unconstitutional interpretation?
