Case Analysis

For this paper, you will conduct an analysis of a case decided by the Supreme Court related to homeland security. A list of potential cases for analysis is below.

The paper must be 5-7 pages of content, excluding the cover page and references using the American Psychological Association (APA) style and format, 7th edition.
