Vallejos v Commissioner of Registration
Vallejos and Domingo v. Commissioner of Registration was a court case against the government of Hong Kong by two foreign domestic helpers (FDHs) seeking permanent residence and the right of abode in Hong Kong. Because of its subject matter it was commonly referred to in the media as the FDHs' right of abode case (外傭居港權案). Evangeline Vallejos and Daniel Domingo were two of five applicants who in various groups filed three right of abode lawsuits in 2010; the ruling in Vallejos' case was expected to be a precedent for the other two.

From his experience on the Board of Registrars, Gonzales later testified for the plaintiffs in a court case, "Davis et al. v. Schnell et al." It was brought in 1948 by ten Mobile County African-American residents against the Board of Registrars for discrimination under the amendment. A three-judge panel in federal district court declared the Boswell Amendment unconstitutional, as it violated the Fifteenth Amendment of the US Constitution. This decision was upheld in appeals up to the US Supreme Court.
