In Babcock v. Kijakazi, the Supreme Court held that a state court’s decision to deny an asylum seeker's application for relief from removal was not subject to review by federal courts. The petitioner, who had been denied asylum in a state court proceeding, argued that he should have been allowed to appeal his case in federal court because it involved questions of constitutional law and international treaties. However, the Court found that there was no basis for such an appeal under existing precedent or statute. Furthermore, they noted that allowing appeals of this kind would create unnecessary delays and interfere with Congress' intent when creating immigration laws. Ultimately, the Court concluded that states are free to decide how best to handle cases involving individuals seeking protection from deportation without interference from federal courts.
