Court Rules Immigration Law Invalid
The Supreme Court, in a 5-3 decision, struck down a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act that strips naturalized Americans of citizenship if they return to their native land for three years, calling it second-class citizenship. The Court also upheld a 4-4 tie ruling allowing the deportation of a Milwaukee-born man who served in Fidel Castro's Cuban army, and threw out a narcotics conviction due to tainted evidence. It held the Terminal Railway immune from suit under FELA and declined to review records sought by the Atty. Gen. Kennedy under the Civil Rights Act.
