![[src + arch inside] U.S. Supreme Court to consider prohibition on encouraging illegal immigration [1041x886 - 809KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/blLo3T.png){kind=link}
The 9th Circuit's ruling threw out part of the conviction of a California man, Helaman Hansen, who had been prosecuted under the law.
The dispute is similar to one that the Supreme Court heard, but did not resolve, in 2020.
The federal government accused Hansen of deceiving undocumented immigrants between 2012 and 2016 by promising them that they could gain U.S. citizenship through an "adult adoption" program operated by his Sacramento-based business, Americans Helping America Chamber of Commerce.
They don't want to stamp out the process of encouraging illegal immigration. They just want to ensure their monopoly on it.
