![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A608
GREG ABBOTT, ET AL. U. LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[December 4, 2025]
With an eye on the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, several States have in recent months redrawn their congressional districts in ways that are predicted to favor the State's dominant political party. Texas adopted the first new map, then California responded with its own map for the stated purpose of counteracting what Texas had done.
North Carolina followed suit, and other States are also considering new maps.
Respondents in this case challenged the new Texas map, contending that the legislature's motive was predominantly racial. A divided three-judge District Court agreed and enjoined the use of the new map in the 2026 elections. With the 2026 campaign underway, the State of Texas and several of its officials applied to this Court for a stay.
Based on our preliminary evaluation of this case, Texas satisfies the traditional criteria for interim relief.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreibpud5vzmybiy4rh3a4imhlzri7czu36rhhfykmrisvcij4iwd5yu@jpeg)

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."
