“The Supreme Court sided Wednesday with U.S. immigration authorities who want to deport a man convicted in a car theft case.

In a near-unanimous decision, the court said immigration law provides for removing someone convicted of aiding and abetting a theft offense when the term of imprisonment is at least one year.

A theft offense is an aggravated felony under federal immigration law, making someone deportable.”
