In harsh times like these, good news is certainly a welcome change. Fox News reports a Supreme Court action today that falls in that happy category.
The United States Supreme Court refused to block a court order requiring the Biden administration to reinstate a Trump-era immigration move known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy.
The policy, implemented by former President Donald Trump, requires asylum seekers at the southern border to stay in Mexico while they await hearings in U.S. courtrooms to determine their eligibility and status.
Three of the court’s more liberal justices – Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, and Breyer – would have accepted the application for a stay.
The Wall Street Journal writes the Court majority of 6 concluded the government is unlikely to prevail in a defense of its cancellation of Remain in Mexico. This is very good news indeed for those opposed to the Biden Administration's de facto open borders policy.
Afterthought: This is the sort of action conservatives hoped to see from a court with 6 conservative members. Maybe the first such clear signal since Barrett joined the Court.
With the Biden crowd in trouble, are several of the 6 “coming home”? If so, are they telegraphing they are overly influenced by the way political winds are blowing? I wish it didn’t feel that way.
