Does the Court have jurisdiction to review "constitutional claims or questions of law"?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Leclerc v. Holder, 10-5238-ag NAC (2nd Cir. 2012):
Gonzales, 495 F.3d 31, 34, 36 (2d Cir. 2007). Although we retain jurisdiction to review "constitutional claims or questions of law," see 8 U.S.C. 1252(a)(2)(D), such claims must be colorable to invoke our jurisdiction. See Barco-Sandoval v. Gonzales, 516 F.3d 35, 40 (2d Cir. 2008).
