Something to keep your eye on after the birthright citizenship arguments: 2 other cases before SCOTUS- 1 involving humanitarian parole & another involving TPS- where the govt is asking SCOTUS to let it deport up to 1 million people w/o going through the proper legal process. 🧵

Just a little Friday recap of some of the latest filings in the #DACA case before Judge Hanen as I have seen some misinformation going around. Yesterday, the court granted several motions the parties had filed. The court did not require any new briefing.
