More on how this was screened

Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo ended the Chevron deference underlying Simeonov v. Ashcroft's statement that courts defer to the BIA's statutory interpretation unless it conflicts with the statute's plain meaning. The Ninth Circuit recognized this change for BIA interpretations in Murillo-Chavez v. Bondi. The treatment is listed below; Simeonov's specific conclusion that an excluded, unadmitted person was ineligible for suspension of deportation remains separate from that review standard.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

33 later cases cite Todor Krumov Simeonov v. John Ashcroft, Attorney General; 33 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
