Supreme Court rules federal appeals courts must defer to immigration judges' factual findings in asylum cases.
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal appeals courts must defer to immigration judges' factual findings in asylum cases, applying the "substantial evidence" standard under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
