General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Delgadillo v. Carmichael No. 63 Argued October 22, 1947 Decided November 10, 1947 332 U.S. 388
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS FOR
THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
More than five years after he had entered the United States legally, an alien shipped as a seaman on an American ship bound from Los Angeles to New York. The ship was torpedoed, and he was rescued and taken to Havana, whence he was returned to the United States. He was convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude committed within five years thereafter, and was sentenced to imprisonment for a term of one year to life. Proceedings were instituted for his deportation.
Held: he is not subject to deportation, since his return to the United States was not "the entry of the alien to the United States" within the meaning of § 19.(a) of the Immigration Act of February 5, 1917, as amended. Pp. 389-391.
159 F.2d 130 reversed.
On a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, the District Court discharged a resident alien who was being held for deportation under § 19(a) of the Immigration Act of February 5, 1917, as amended, 8 U.S.C. § 155(a). The Circuit Court of Appeals reversed. 159 F.2d 130. This Court granted certiorari. 331 U.S. 801. William A Carmichael was substituted for Albert Del Guercio as respondent. 332 U.S. 806. Reversed, p. 391.
