Upholds its previous stay that blocked the president’s administration from deportations to third-party countries.
The Supreme Court issued an unsigned order last week overturning a lower court’s decision that blocked the removal of migrants from a U.S. military base in Djibouti to South Sudan. While none of the criminal migrants is native to the region, the high court previously ruled in favor of the administration’s removal of criminal illegals to third-party nations when their native countries will not accept them.
District Judge Brian Murphy continued to pause the transference of the migrants from Djibouti to South Sudan, according to his previous order for the president’s administration to assess these claims of potential harm despite the high court’s ruling. President Trump’s administration filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court against the judge’s pause, which the majority of the court overturned in its unsigned order.
The majority stated, “The May 21 remedial order cannot now be used to enforce an injunction that our stay rendered unenforceable.”
Justice Elena Kagan joined the majority in approving the unsigned order, writing that she cannot vote against the previous precedent that was set by the Supreme Court last month. She published her own opinion alongside the unsigned order, reiterating that she had voted against the June decision that allowed the administration to continue its swift deportations.
“But a majority of this court saw things differently, and I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this court has stayed,” Justice Kagan wrote in her explanation.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the justices of the Supreme Court as they assess emergency appeals and requests for stays and injunctions.
- For wisdom for the justices as they accept cases to add to their fall docket.
- For President Trump and members of his administration as they seek to remove criminal illegals from the U.S.
