Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
In a debtor's appeal from the bankruptcy court's order limiting the homestead exemption in his bankruptcy petition, the order is affirmed in part where there was no pre-petition appreciation of the property at issue; but reversed in part, where perfection of a homestead exemption does not constitute acquisition of a property interest for purposes of 11 U.S.C. section 522(p)(1), and thus the debtor's homestead was not subject to the $125,000 cap contained in section 522(p).
