New York Gov. Kathy Hochul just handed a full pardon to a violent criminal alien whose case was headed for the Supreme Court, abruptly killing a major legal showdown that could have handed the federal government sweeping new authority to detain criminal migrants without bond hearings.
By pardoning Dominican national Keisy Guerrero Mariano, Hochul eliminated the very conviction underpinning his deportation proceedings and mandatory immigration detention, rendering the Supreme Court case moot before the justices could decide it.
