But this is not entirely accurate. The Supreme Court overrules these sorts of judgments with some regularity.
It is also logical to continue implementing the policies that would be unaffected by such a decision.
There is no question, though, that convicted illegal immigrants are deportable, and that people unlawfully residing in the US are deportable.
It has already been established before that rights reserved for US citizens do not exist in the same way for aliens. This doesn't just apply to things like voting and gun ownership, but even things like privacy - there isn't any requirement for digitally spying on foreign citizens, for instance. You need a judge to sign off on digitally snooping an American citizens' computer, but not for an alien.
They should identify the potential conflict and, based on that, potentially hold what's going on.
Just as such, if there was some fatal flaw or conflict of interest discovered with how a judge or detective conducted himself, it would not justify releasing all the connected criminals immediately. Rather, it would justify reviewing all these cases and then releasing people whom it was determined to have impacted.
