Dada v. Mukasey, 554 U.S. 1 (2008), was a United States Supreme Court case involving deportation procedures.^[1]

Samson T. Dada was a citizen of Nigeria who had married an American citizen. When immigration officials tried to deport him for overstaying his visa, he appealed, claiming his marriage entitled him to remain in the United States.^[2] The Court ruled, in a 5–4 decision, that complying with a deportation order did not strip an immigrant of the right to appeal that deportation order.^[3]

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer. Justice Antonin Scalia was joined by Justices John Roberts and Clarence Thomas in his dissent. Justice Samuel Alito wrote a separate dissent.^[4]
