Supreme Court Overrules District Court Judge Who Issued a (What Else?) Nationwide Injunction Against Deporting Venezuelans, Cubans, Hatians, and Nicaraugans

Get this: The statute at the heart of this dispute says that the president can grant "case by case" protections against deportations. Biden ignored this and protected all illegals from four countries -- Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.

The district court is upholding Biden's grant of blanket immunity while requiring Trump to engage in "case by case" decisions to revoke the immunity. The law makes no requirement of a "case by case" determination for revoking immunity.

So, where the law demands the president to engage in particularlized, individualized case-by-case decision to grant immunity to deportation, the courts ignore it and let Biden give blanket immunity to millions.

When Trump acts to remove this illegal blanket immunity, the courts confabulate a judge-invented requirement of case-by-case consideration of each of the millions of illegals.

Sounds about right.

The Supreme Court overruled -- stayed -- the lower court's injunction, but that court will still rule "on the merits" at trial, allegedly, and I have no doubt which way this rogue criminal judge will rule. Remember, injunctions are pre-trial relief which are granted when a judge guesses how the trial will turn out, and who he wants to win.

Still, it's a victory for the moment.

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to lift a lower court injunction that blocked President Donald Trump's decision to terminate the protected legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants living in the U.S., in a win for the administration as it looks to deliver on its hard-line immigration enforcement policies.
The decision clears the way for the Trump administration to move forward with its plans to terminate Biden-era Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for roughly 300,000 Venezuelan migrants living in the U.S. and allows the administration to move forward with plans to immediately remove these migrants, which lawyers for the administration argued they should be able to do.
...
At issue was the TPS program, which allows people from certain countries to live and work in the U.S. legally if they cannot work safely in their home country due to a disaster, armed conflict or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions."
...
In March, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California agreed to keep the protections in place, siding with plaintiffs from the National TPS Alliance in ruling that the termination of the TPS program, which is extended in 18-month increments, is "unprecedented" and suggested that the abrupt termination may have been "predicated on negative stereotypes" about Venezuelan migrants.

Sauer disputed this in the appeal to the Supreme Court. In it, he also accused the lower court judge of improperly intruding on the executive branch's authority over immigration policy.
"Forceful condemnations of gang violence and broad questioning of the integrity of the prior administration's immigration practices, including potential abuses of the TPS program, do not evince discriminatory intent," Sauer said, describing Chen's descriptions as "cherry-picked" and "wrongly portrayed" as "racially tinged."

Essentially the judge ruled that any opposition to open borders is "racist" and therefore any action to end open borders can be overruled by a judge.

Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley
The Supreme Court delivered a win for the Administration today by lifting the injunction on the move to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for hundreds of thousands of people allowed into the country by Biden from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela...
...A California district judge had blocked the move and the Ninth Circuit refused to lift the injunction. It will now go back to the Ninth Circuit for the resolution of the merits. Only Justice Jackson dissented in the order today... https://documentcloud.org/documents/25948079-24a1059-order/
...Notably, while the statute states that this special status could be assigned on a "case-by-case" basis, the Biden Administration unlawfully adopted a wholesale policy granting temporary parole to hundreds of thousands of individuals from four countries -- Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela ("CHNV") ...
...Yet, the district court would have required case-by-case determinations to end the status. The law however barred review of these determinations:
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law (statutory or nonstatutory)... no court shall have jurisdiction to review ... any other decision or action of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority for which is specified under this title to be in the discretion of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security, other than the granting of relief under section 208(a). [8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(ii) (emphasis added).]"
...The administration was open about its desire to remove these individuals before they accrued over two years of continuous presence, as that would trigger a longer removal process.
...The language underlying this special status is highly deferential to the government. The status as parolees is temporary and can be terminated, in the view of the Administration...
...These paroles brought this challenge in one of the most liberal circuits in the country and could still prevail before the Ninth Circuit. It would then be back to the Supreme Court for a review of the merits if the writ is granted.

27 To put a fine point on it, the district court found that the plaintiffs were likely to win on the merits based on its finding that Trump's action was based on racial bias.

That Trump, through his Secretary, acted to revoke the status because he is a racist.

The 9th Circuit agreed.

And Jumanji also agreed.

41 You know, this might sound a bit outlandish, but I'd like to see the DOJ file criminal charges against the NGO's ("non-government" agencies) that assisted in this mass migration.

I think you could make a case that the entire process is "human trafficking." By financing, assisting, advising and transporting, they are, arguably, participating in human trafficking.

(((Human Trafficking: Human trafficking is the act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring, or receiving individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation.)))

The big question mark in such a charge would be the "exploitation." There is obvious coercion. And, I think you could make that argument for exploitation based on a number of premises. 1. Enriching the voter rolls of the Left 2. Encouraging actual violation of the immigration laws. 3. Direct advisory on how to circumvent in place immigration laws. That, of course, opens up conspiracy to commit a crime statutes.

Many judges do. Even guys we like like Alito can be rules- and procedure-obsessed. Read his dissent in the decision on requiring some notice under the AEA that everyone was (mistakenly) punching themselves in the nuts over last week. His dissent was pure procedure.

I'm probably in the minority here in that I think we win in the SC more often when it counts, and when we lose it's often mostly interlocutory or otherwise not particularly meaningful. We certainly won some truly momentous decisions the last few years.

The thing to keep in mind is that we're shifting the Overton Window. Trump wants to get 50 things done, so he tries 100, knowing they won't all be successful, and if he gets blocked on 50 of them, he still got 50 more things done than he would have got otherwise.

Posted by: Ben Had at May 19, 2025 03:58 PM (NVNRw)

95 Michael Byrd (the murderer of Ashli Babbitt) previously lost his service weapon in a Gun Free Zone.

There are stills from video of Jan. 6th with him pointing his muzzle at the backs of fellow officers, with his finger on the trigger, and a loose stack of folders in his off hand crook of the arm.

Either of those acts should have gotten him fired from any serious job where the employees carry firearms.

However, when he shot Babbitt - while NO ONE was facing an imminent threat of death or grievous harm - he was given an award for heroism and a promotion.

Whereas, a RSO at any range in the country would have relieved him of his firearm and given him a lifetime ban, prior to him having the opportunity to commit a murder.

It's between this bill and the CR process which still spends TARP funds, every year, almost 20 years after TARP fell off the front page.

A terrible budget is better than the CR process.

At least with a terrible budget, the House can pass rescission bills to make Trump's administrative cuts permanent.

Way premature, even now we are speaking of only a few radicals in a few places, and we are winning the cases with a few hiccups. The smackdowns are exposing the malfeasance to the public.

Certainly a few reasonable rule changes could be pushed thru to mitigate the problem without looking crazed.

1) true randomized assignment of judges
2) no off hours meetings and no meetings without the DOJ representative being present to offer counters
3) large bonds must be posted to stop government processes due to the damages involved.
4) no organization suing the government can take government money from USAID or any other government source.
5) A judge whose TRO is refused for a third time in a 5 year period is considered to have resigned without pension for wasting the court's time.

I have worked with various identity groups before: hispanics, women, etc. They all tend to hire in house a lot more than white men. White men tended to hire whoever (although the cuter the girl the better chance they get hired over a plain girl). But women tend to hire women, hispanics hire hispanics, etc.
