There is far more wrong with the Noem v Perdomo shadow docket order than one can say in a single post. But one particularly hypocritical and disingenuous piece is Justice Kavanaugh's citations Biden v Tx (twice), and US v Tx. The Supreme Court DECLINED TO STAY the lower court orders in both cases.

DHS is carrying out immigration courthouse arrests targeting individuals who are trying to play by the rules. CILP's Talia Inlender spoke to the @latimes.com about how this is an effort to stir fear and strip away due process. #dueprocess www.latimes.com/california/s...

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/w... Does anyone else find it strange that no one commenting on this mentions racism?

Check out my post re a new argument we made in our habeas petition in SD Tx challenging the government's use of the Alien Enemies Act. To state the obvious: sending people to CECOT is punishment! That requires convxn by jury trial. @justsecurity.org www.justsecurity.org/110679/depor...

I waited to post until DHS actually complied (which is a sign of how bad things have gotten), but now they have. TPS for Venezuela is in fact back in place!! Through October 2026 or until further order of a court. Govt has appealed; we are in stay briefing. www.uscis.gov/humanitarian...

This from my co-counsel Jaime Diez in El Valle Tx. He went to confirm our client was still here (he is). We (also Jennifer Babaie, Paige Austin, Javier Maldonado) got a TRO in this and another case to stop imminent unlawful “deportations.” But lots of other people being expelled. @justsecurity.org

In case it soon becomes relevant... here is my post from last summer analyzing several of Trump's immigration proposals, including the proposal to invoke the Alien Enemy Act. TPS analysis also holding up so far... www.justsecurity.org/97146/trumps... @justsecurity.org

Explainer on First Amendment and Other Legal Issues in Deportation of Palestinian Student Activist(s) By @ahilantoolong.bsky.social and @adambcox.bsky.social www.justsecurity.org/109012/legal...

An important piece by two leading experts. Explainer on First Amendment and Due Process Issues in Deportation of Pro-Palestinian Student Activist(s) By Ahilan Arulanantham (@ahilantoolong.bsky.social) and Adam Cox (@adambcox.bsky.social)

Can Sec. Rubio "revoke" green cards? No, he can't. Though from there it does get somewhat trickier...  @adamcox.bsky.social and I analyze some of the legal issues in the Khalil case.

Check out my piece @justsecurity.org about yesterday's DOJ memo threatening to prosecute state officials for following sanctuary policies. TLDR: the Trump admin can't do that!! It's not a crime to follow sanctuary policies, and more generally not a crime to simply ignore ICE's demands for help.

This lawsuit is about the June 2024 asylum restriction that Biden put into effect, which was justified in part by the existence of alternate legal pathways like CBP One. Eliminating that pathway now makes this regulation less defensible. Trump will aim to replace it, exact method still unclear.

The just-filed complaint challenging Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship. Filed in the D.N.H. by the national ACLU, ACLU-NH, ACLU-MA, ACLU-ME, NAACP LDF, State Democracy Defenders Fund, and the Asian Law Caucus. www.aclu-nh.org/en/press-rel...

Stephen Miller claimed in a letter that 249 elected officials could face legal consequences for protecting immigrants with sanctuary laws; but "the legal argument in that letter is borderline frivolous"– @ahilantoolong.bsky.social on @thenation.com podcast bit.ly/4gNSNhC

Immigration activists say CA law is good, but there are better laws protecting undocumented residents, especially in OR, and in IL. What do those states do that CA doesn’t? Ahilan Arulanantham @ahilantoolong.bsky.social explains on @thenation.com podcast bit.ly/4gNSNhC

Defending the Undocumented: "Crime happens for a variety of reasons... but the idea that you can make people safer by deporting the “bad apples” – it turns out not to be true" – Ahilan Arulanantham @ahilantoolong.bsky.social on @thenation.com podcast bit.ly/4gNSNhC
