Supreme Court Allows Trump to Undo Major Biden-Era Immigration Policy
The justices rejected an emergency appeal from Democratic-led cities seeking to restore the immigration rule.
The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday to uphold a court order that prohibits a Biden-era immigration policy, known as administrative closure, from being implemented. The decision came after the justices rejected an emergency appeal from a group of Democratic-led cities and a legal advocacy organization, which argued that the policy was beneficial to crime victims and juveniles.
Texas, along with the Trump administration, had requested the court order blocking the regulation, contending that it had expanded significantly under former President Joe Biden and enabled certain immigrants to remain in the United States indefinitely. After the cities and the legal group's request was denied, they filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court.
The Justice Department contended in its filing that the cities did not possess legal standing to challenge the settlement and had not demonstrated that they would suffer immediate legal harm.
