TL;DR Summary

The US Supreme Court has allowed a transgender woman from Guatemala to appeal her deportation from the country in federal court. The woman argues that she will face sexual discrimination and assault if she is deported back to her home country. The ruling will make it easier for non-citizens to challenge their removal orders in federal court, even if they did not fully challenge their removal before immigration authorities. The case involves Leon Santos-Zacaria, who is seeking asylum in the US after experiencing sexual assault, death threats, and harassment in her home country due to her sexual orientation.
