Supreme Court Reverses Costello Deportation Order
The Supreme Court 6 2 overturns the deportation order for Frank Costello a 71 year old New York gambler. Justice Stewart delivers the majority opinion with Justice White dissenting joined by Justice Clark. Justice Harlan took no part. Costello born in Italy came to the United States at age four naturalized in 1925 but later had citizenship canceled in 1959 for alleged fraud. The government argued revocation nullified his citizenship while Costello claimed the law didn t apply to him as a naturalized citizen and alien at conviction.
