Justice should not be afforded only to some and without a full and fair day in court. We need a process and SCOTUS must reject the government’s emergency request for a stay that would lead to mass deportation and chaos.

Read this thoughtful deep dive by @steve_vladeck. The stakes are high. These are attacks on tax-paying immigrants who have been in the States for years with the government's explicit permission.

This isn’t the 1st time they have tried to skip over the lower courts. DOJ has requested SCOTUS halt a lower court’s decision 14 times in 16 weeks. In comparison, under both Bush & both Obama administrations (a total of 16 years), we have seen only 8 such requests to SCOTUS.

These cases have MAJOR consequences for our country & shouldn’t be decided on a whim. Deporting almost a million people overnight will lead to chaos. An estimated 500,000 people are involved in our humanitarian parole case alone. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

To say that I am honored to be part of the legal team with @ImmDef & @AmicaCenter is a true understatement. These 2 orgs, and the 9 other plaintiffs orgs who represent immigrant kids day in and day out are the heroes of the story. They ensure no kid stands alone in court.

This is good news – for now. But this shouldn’t be controversial. Kids should be treated like kids, and the government shouldn’t fight us on that.

That’s why we took the extraordinary step of asking the court for a Temporary Restraining Order. The federal district court asked tough questions of both sides, and we ultimately prevailed.

Trump unilaterally cut off this funding for lawyers even though he can’t do that according to our laws. As a result, legal service providers faced having to lose staff and leave kids to fend for themselves.

Congress has made sure that those kids do not have to stand alone. The TVPRA provides a mandate and Congress provided money for lawyers, all of whom have developed the expertise necessary to treat kids like kids and help them navigate an often cruel and always confusing system.

Imagine this: you’re a kid who came to the United States without a caretaker or loved one. Sometimes you’re brought in someone else’s arms, sometimes you’ve walked here on your own two feet. You’re alone and don’t have the words to describe what you left behind and why.

We dared to defend 260 DACA recipients from a Trump admin by taking them on Advance Parole to Tijuana for an educational advocacy trip w/ @karentumlin.bsky.social Universidad Iberoamericana TJ & Loyola Law School. Watch the story @nbcnews.com. #homeishere

Today, TX & the other states suing to end DACA asked for until July 14 to respond to these recent filings on the SCOTUS standing cases. This likely means the Court will wait to get that July 14 filing before ruling on the case. But that does not tell us WHEN the court will rule.

Some of those motions were notices of supplemental authority filed by the Intervenors (DACA recipients and NJ) and the U.S. on what 2 recent SCOTUS cases on standing meant for the DACA case. Standing is the legal requirement of what plaintiffs need to show to bring a lawsuit.
