BALDEMAR ZUNIGA, Petitioner, v. WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General,Respondent.

Comments:
This case presents us with a simple question: do non-citizens subject to expedited removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1228 have a statutory right to counsel in reasonable fear proceedings before immigration judges? The answer, based on the plain language of § 1228, is yes.
