Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

No. 25A319
_________________
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, ET AL. v. ASHTON ORR, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[November 6, 2025]
This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring
all new passports to display an individual’s biological sex at
birth. The United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government
from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to
stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then
filed this stay application. Applying our familiar stay fac-
tors at this preliminary stage, we grant the application.
Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends
equal protection principles than displaying their country of
birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to
a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential
treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to
establish that the Government’s choice to display biological
sex “lack[s] any purpose other than a bare . . . desire to
harm a politically unpopular group.” Trump v. Hawaii, 585
U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the
State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by de-
clining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress ex-
pressly required it to follow. See 22 U. S. C. §211a.
For these reasons, the Government is likely to succeed on
the merits. And the District Court’s grant of class-wide re-
lief enjoins enforcement of an Executive Branch policy with
foreign affairs implications concerning a Government docu-
ment. In light of the foregoing, the Government will](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bpna2qi2e44fafbhhtqjak3x/bafkreido7gtg273j7eium7w2sowwdumb3ptxgub2yathmbpliyrsnxn4ke@jpeg)
![2 TRUMP v. ORR
JACKSON, J., dissenting
“suffer[] a form of irreparable injury” absent a stay. Trump
v. CASA, Inc., 606 U. S. 831, 861 (2025) (internal quotation
marks omitted).
The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON
and by her referred to the Court is granted. The June 17,
2025 order of the United States District Court for the Dis-
trict of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25–cv–10313, is stayed
pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and disposition of a
petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely
sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall termi-
nate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the
stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judg-
ment of this Court.
JUSTICE JACKSON, with whom JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR and
JUSTICE KAGAN join, dissenting from the grant of applica-
tion for stay.
As is becoming routine, the Government seeks an emer-
gency stay of a District Court’s preliminary injunction
pending appeal. As is also becoming routine, this Court
misunderstands the assignment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bpna2qi2e44fafbhhtqjak3x/bafkreicklnu2oy4nfsfhhmklcpzl2m2ydvtrpcug2rud6a77okmp4slrha@jpeg)
