Andrew Valles v. Todd Blanche, Attorney General, et al.

Whether the Government may prosecute and continue to enforce a federal registration status against a pre-Act offender without identifying a legally operative duty on the relevant dates under the complete statutory framework, including 34 U.S.C. §§ 20913(d) and 20915(a)-(b), and 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a).

Whether due process permits courts and enforcement officials to use a later § 2250(a) conviction as proof of the antecedent registration duty upon which that conviction depended, where official jurisdiction-specific determinations materially call that duty into question.

Whether the First Amendment permits the Government, under threat of felony prosecution, to compel a person to appear, report, update, verify, and thereby assist in maintaining a public­ facing registry message that assigns a stigmatising legal status, where the legal predicate for that status remains disputed.

Whether Article I, § 1 permits Congress to vest in the Attorney General authority to determine SORNA’s applicability to pre-Act offenders under 34 U.S.C. § 20913(d), where that executive determination governs entry into a criminally enforced, public-facing registration regime and Gundy v. United States produced no majority rationale.
