CYR No. 00-767 SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Argued April 24, 2001June 25, 2001 Syllabus Before effective dates Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act 1996 (AEDPA) Illegal Immigration Reform Immigrant Responsibility (IIRIRA), §212(c) Nationality 1952 was interpreted give Attorney General broad discretion waive deportation resident aliens. As relevant here, large class aliens depending on relief reduced by §401 AEDPA, which identified a set offenses for convictions would preclude such relief; IIRIRA, repealed replaced it with new section excluding from anyone "convicted an aggravated felony," 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a)(3). Respondent St. Cyr, lawful permanent resident, pleaded guilty criminal charge him deportable. He have been eligible waiver under immigration law effect when he convicted, but his removal proceedings were commenced after AEDPA's IIRIRA's dates. The claims those Acts withdrew authority grant Cyr waiver. Federal District accepted Cyr's habeas corpus application agreed restrictions do not apply brought against alien who deportable crime their enactment. Second Circuit affirmed. Held: 1. Courts jurisdiction 28 2241 decide legal issue raised petition. Pp. 7-24. (a) To prevail its claim AEDPA IIRIRA stripped federal courts pure question law, as this case, petitioner Naturalization Service (INS) must overcome both strong presumption favor judicial review administrative action longstanding rule requiring clear unambiguous statement congressional intent repeal jurisdiction. Here, plain draws additional reinforcement canons statutory construction: First, interpretation invokes outer limits Congress' power, there indication Congress intended result; second, if otherwise acceptable construction raise serious constitutional problems alternative fairly possible, statute construed avoid problems. 7-9. (b) Construing amendments at court rise substantial questions. Constitution's Suspension Clause, protects privilege writ, unquestionably requires some intervention cases. Heikkila v. Barber, 345 229, 235. Even assuming Clause only writ existed 1789, evidence supports questions could answered 1789 common-law judge power writ. Thus, arise statutes withdrawn judges provided no adequate substitute. need resolve difficult desirability avoiding necessity reinforce reasons intent. 9-14. (c) conclude longer available context also represent marked departure historical practice. has always legality executive detention, see e.g., Felker Turpin, 518 651, 663, and, until Act, sole means challenging order's legality, see, Heikkila, U.S., Habeas suits Executive interpretations arose discretionary context. 14-17. (d) Neither §401(e) nor three provisions, 1252(a)(1), (a)(2)(C), (b)(9), express bar petitions. None these sections even mentions §2241. Section 401(e)'s subsection 1961 provided, inter alia, custody pursuant order, sufficient eliminate what did namely, See Ex parte Yerger, Wall. 85, 105-106. provisions speak clarity They focus "judicial review" "jurisdiction review." In context, however, "habeas corpus" historically distinct meanings, playing far narrower role. 17-24. 2. 212(c) remains aliens, like whose obtained through plea agreements who, notwithstanding convictions, time then effect. 24-36.
