At the Supreme Court level, the petitioner was the commissioner of the INS, and the respondent was a group of organizations representing Haitians fleeing their homeland.
The INS had directed the USCG to turn back Haitians found outside US territorial waters without investigating to see if they qualified as refugees.
The Supreme Court held that that was a legal practice.
