Courts cannot order the discharge of immigrants who have been denied a fair hearing by immigration officials, but must determine their right to enter the country, the Supreme Court held today in a case brought from New York against Szejwa Waldman and others.
Admission had been denied to the immigrants on various grounds. They then sought to prevent deportation by habeas corpus proceedings.

The Government contended that the trial Court should have been directed to determine the right ol the aliens to enter the country instead of being instructed to discharge them.
