Law
In the 1903 case Yamataya v. Fisher also known as the Japanese Immigrant Case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the decisions of administrative or executive officers acting under their delegated powers constituted due process of law and were not subject to judicial review. In fiscal year 2013, 83 percent of deportation orders came from immigration officers.[2]
