NEW! A federal court in DC just ruled that President Trump's "invasion" proclamation banning asylum at the southern border is UNLAWFUL.

Judge Moss vacates agency guidance implementing the proclamation, issues declaratory relief that the order is unlawful, and enjoins DHS from implementation.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT CENTER FOR EDUCATION AND LEGAL SERVICES, et al., Plaintiffs, v. KRISTI NOEM, et al., Defendants. Civil Action No. 25-306 (RDM) ORDER For the reasons set forth in the Court’s Memorandum Opinion, Dkt. 71, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment, Dkt. 51, is GRANTED in part, DENIED in part, and DEFERRED in part; and it is further ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class, Dkt. 13, is GRANTED in part and DEFERRED in part; and it is further ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction, Dkt. 14, is DENIED as moot in light of the Court’s merits decisions; and it is further ORDERED that the agency guidance implementing Proclamation 10888, 90 Fed. Reg. 8333 (Jan. 20, 2025), is VACATED pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 706(2) to the extent that it authorizes extra-statutory and extra-regulatory removals or repatriations of covered individuals; precludes the individual plaintiffs and class members from accessing their statutory rights to apply for asylum; precludes the individual plaintiffs and class members from applying for and, where appropriate, obtaining withholding of removal; and departs from the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) protection screening standards set forth in the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security CAT regulations; and it is further DECLARED as to the Agency Defendants that Proclamation 10888 is unlawful insofar as it purports to suspend or to restrict access to asylum, withholding of removal, or the existing regulatory processes for obtaining CAT protection or authorizes the Agency Defendants to adopt or to implement extra-statutory or extra-regulatory removal or repatriation procedures; and it is further DECLARED as to the Agency Defendants that neither 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(f) & 1185(a) nor the President’s authority under the Vesting Clause or Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution authorizes the President or his subordinates to suspend or to restrict access to the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that permit the continued presence in the United States of individuals, irrespective of their status, who have entered and who are present in the United States; and it is further ORDERED that the Agency Defendants (including their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys and those who are in active concert or participation with any of those individuals) are ENJOINED from implementing the Proclamation to remove individual plaintiffs or class members using non-statutory repatriation or removal proceedings; and it is further ORDERED that the Agency Defendants (including their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys and those who are in active concert or participation with any of those individuals) are ENJOINED from removing any individual plaintiffs or class members without complying with the asylum statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a); and it is further ORDERED that the Agency Defendants (including their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys and those who are in active concert or participation with any of those individuals) are ENJOINED from narrowing the eligibility criteria for asylum without complying with 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(2)(C); and it is further ORDERED that the Agency Defendants (including their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys and those who are in active concert or participation with any of those individuals) are ENJOINED from using procedures other than those set forth in the relevant regulations when processing individual plaintiffs’ or class members’ CAT protection claims; and it is further ORDERED that the parties shall meet and confer and submit to the Court a joint status report proposing next steps for the case on or before July 11, 2025; and it is further ORDERED that the parties shall appear for a status conference on July 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom 8; and it is further ORDERED that this Order shall not take effect with respect to the absent class members until July 16, 2025, to allow Defendants the opportunity to seek a stay in the court of appeals and to implement the Court’s decision in an orderly fashion, but shall take immediate effect with respect to the named individual plaintiffs who are currently present in the United States; and it is further ORDERED that partial final judgment is hereby entered pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) as to the claims of those individual plaintiffs and class members who are or will be present in the United States, with the exception of the portions of the Sixth Claim for Relief raising arbitrary-and-capricious arguments under the Administrative Procedure Act, see Dkt. 11 at 39 (Am. Compl. ¶ 138), and all of the Seventh Claim for Relief, see id. at 39–40 (Am. Compl. ¶¶ 139–43), all of which have been held in abeyance pending further order of the Court. This Order constitutes a final, appealable judgment of the Court within the meaning of Rule 58(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. SO ORDERED. /s/ Randolph D. Moss RANDOLPH D.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

This was SB99 from 2023. I spoke against this bill on 3 different occasions on the house floor, including the "blood on your hands" speech.

I am glad this bill has been permanently defeated. And that Montana's constitution continues to protect trans people from government overreach and animus.

BREAKING: Xinis holds, criticizing DOJ’s filing, saying their claimed need for more time “blinks at reality,” and giving them until 11:30a to comply with the order for a declaration. The 1p hearing stays. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
ORDER The Defendants ask this Court to extend the deadline to respond to its Order at ECF No. 51, arguing that the Defendants require several days to "meaningful[ly] review the Supreme Court's decision," issued last night at 7:00 PM, and that it is "impracticable for Defendants to comply with the Court's 9:30 AM deadline only a few hours after the Supreme Court issued an order in this case." ECF No. 55. This, Defendants say, supports extension of the filing deadline until April 15, 2025. The Court largely rejects the Defendants' request. First, the Defendants' act of sending Abrego Garcia to El Salvador was wholly illegal from the moment it happened, and Defendants have been on notice of the same. Indeed, as the Supreme Court credits, "the United States acknowledges that Abrego Garcia was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal." Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S.__ (2025), Slip Op. at 1. Second, the Defendants' suggestion that they need time to meaningfully review a four-page Order that reaffirms this basic principle blinks at reality. Third, the Defendants misconstrue the Supreme Court's Order stating that the original deadline at ECF No. 21 is "no longer effective," as somehow suggesting that the Court's amended Order requiring prompt attention to this matter is "inconsistent" with the Supreme Court's directive. Nothing could be further from the truth. As the Supreme Court plainly stated, "the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps," Slip Op. at 2 - all against the backdrop of this Court's needing to "ensure that the Government lives up to its obligations to follow the law." Id. at 4 (Sotomayor, J., concurring). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS in part the request and will extend the filing deadline until 11:30 AM today. The hearing date and time will remain unchanged.

They said the first migrants to be deported would be criminals, and like 75% of them aren't. No reason to think they won't do the same with American citizens.

Disappearing people to avoid the jurisdiction of the court in which they were taken by the state is authoritarian to the core and runs afoul of the spirit of Article III, the Due Process Clause, and the principles that emerged from the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution. Arbitrary rule.
