Sotomayor, Gorsuch condemn immigrant’s prosecution, citing ‘constitutional absurdity’

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, condemned the government's prosecution of Mexican national Jesus Herrera-Salazar for illegally reentering the country, citing 'serious constitutional problems.' The justices said it was difficult to see how his treatment squared with double jeopardy protections, in a rare bipartisan alignment on the Supreme Court.
