The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal authorities may deport seven Palestinians and a Kenyan that the government says are linked to a Palestinian terrorist group. Members of the group, known as the “L.A. 8,” whom the government has been trying to deport for 12 years, had argued that they are victims of selective enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, and that they are being persecuted for political beliefs and fund-raising activities that should be protected by free-speech rights.
