The American Bar Association (ABA) this week filed amicus briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court in two cases. In the first, the group asks the court to require the U.S. government to provide a factual basis, beyond citing a general federal statute, to deny visa applications of a U.S. citizen's noncitizen spouse. The case of Department of State v. Sandra Muñoz is set for argument on April 23. In the second case, the ABA asks the court for the second time to take up a Texas death penalty case in which the defendant was convicted on DNA evidence and testimony from a police laboratory that was later deemed unreliable by the state.
