The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that U.S. citizens do not have a constitutional right to bring their noncitizen spouses into the country. The case involved Sandra Muñoz, who challenged the denial of her Salvadoran husband Luis Asencio-Cordero's visa on the grounds that it violated her constitutional rights. The visa was denied due to suspicions of Asencio-Cordero's gang affiliation with MS-13, which he denied. The ruling reversed a 2022 decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which had ruled in Muñoz's favor. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, stated that procedural due process does not extend to requiring a 'facially legitimate and bona fide reason' for visa denial in such cases. Dissenting justices argued that the decision undervalues the right to marriage in the immigration context.
