The U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether a 1986 law making it a crime to encourage unauthorized immigration is an unconstitutional infringement on free speech.
The high court agreed last month to decide whether the law violates the First Amendment, the New York Times reports.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco had struck down the law in December 2018 in the case of Evelyn Sineneng-Smith, who ran an immigration consulting firm. Sineneng-Smith had charged her clients $6,800 to file applications for permanent residency status under a program that had expired.
