Hugo Abisai Monsalvo Velazquez, Petitioner v. Pamela Bondi, Attorney General
The Supreme Court ruled that when a noncitizen's statutory deadline for voluntary departure falls on a weekend or holiday, it automatically extends to the next business day. This decision allows individuals to file motions to reopen their cases on the following Monday without facing penalties for failing to leave the country on the non-business day.
