Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
In a 28 U.S.C. section 2255 petition alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel, the petition is denied where the omission of a "viable" issue by counsel did not in and of itself constitute ineffective assistance of counsel, and petitioner's double jeopardy argument required a non-obvious extension of currently existing law.
