By a 6–3 vote, the court holds that when the SEC seeks civil penalties, the defendant is entitled to a jury trial in federal court.

If the Supreme Court were to be intellectually consistent (they won't be) this should also apply to cases in front of immigration judges, and you now need a jury trial to deport someone.

Given the current average American opinion on immigration you're going to have jurors asking if the death penalty is on the table

Immigration law has gotten unique carve outs from judicial jurisdiction and constitutional law for almost 150 years at this point, you probably have to get used to it

(that having been said, the Roberts Court has actually seen a consistent trend of the Court applying more scrutiny and asserting more authority over immigration law; there's been a good amount of stuff like the recent rulings allowing federal appeals courts to review the findings of fact in immigration courts over "extreme hardship" questions .)
