The Trump administration can’t immediately revoke the deportation protections and work permits of hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally under a Biden-era program, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with its plan to terminate the legal status of those migrants on April 24. The administration had warned those affected by its announcement that they would need to self deport by that date or face arrest and deportation by federal immigration agents.

But Talwani suspended the deportation warnings the government had sent and prohibited officials from revoking the legal protection, known as immigration parole, that the Biden administration granted to more than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.

      SCOTUS gave him total freedom from judicial authority.

          His orders can be struck down? You mean like the two times they defied court orders just today, and one of them was a unanimous SCOTUS ruling, with this Court?

          That’s the freedom from judicial authority he was given.

            The SCOTUS ruling you’re referring to, while still a terrible precedent as a matter of policy, did not give him a blanket legal right to disregard court orders. He’s just doing it anyway.

              Maybe not technically, but it effectively did. There’s no material difference.

              You’re falling prey to the idea that in theory, theory and practice are identical, but in practice, theory and practice can often diverge sharply.

              If he is immune from criminal prosecution for “official acts”, it is fully legal for him to defy court orders about “official acts”. That ruling gave him unchecked power. That ruling was our Enabling Act.

              If they’re doing it, then they have the freedom to do it, until something actually stops them.

            No, that’s noncompliance - and by completely misrepresenting the supreme court’s order, they’re playing chicken

            The judiciary moves slowly. They have powers they’re hesitant to use - they can order Marshalls to act and see who they obey, or they could deputize a bunch of retired special forces to enforce their decisions outside of the executive branch’s control

            It’s not over… Not just yet, anyways. But it’s very, very close - if the judiciary backs down, it’s over. If the administration holds their ground until there’s an armed skirmish, it’s going to get very messy. If both sides keep up this back and forth without forcing a standoff, it could drag on for a while

            But it’s not over yet, it’s just not looking good

              US Marshals are under DoJ. The only thing that the courts can do is request that Marshals take action. I’m sure Bondi would get right on that.

              There’s a hearing today on Abrego Garcia, in the wake of SCOTUS’ unanimous but “maddeningly vague” order to “facilitate” his return, and the administration’s clear failure to do so.

              The judiciary moves slowly.

              It does, and they’re taking every advantage of that to log jam that process even more, and do whatever they want in the meantime. There needs to be rapid and effective action now, and there’s only one more box of liberty to get it from.

                Yes, the Marshalls are. But hey could find Marshalls who take their oath seriously, or they could deputize whoever they like to enforce the court’s ruling

                  But [t]hey could find Marshalls who take their oath seriously, …

                  That’s wrong. The request from the court doesn’t just go to the US Marshals. It goes to DoJ.

                  … or they could deputize whoever they like to enforce the court’s ruling.

                  Also wrong. The US Marshals Service can deputize Marshals. The courts cannot.

    But can the court stop his Gestapo from kidnapping these people anyway and trafficking them for torture, slavery, imprisonment and possibly execution? Because they’re just doing it regardless of what the courts rule.

    So?

    He’ll deport them and get a slap on the wrist and a strongly worded letter from a judge that he’ll ignore.

    And no one will do anything about it.

    Judges also ruled that he couldn’t black-bag legal residents and citizens and send them to prison camps in El Salvador. He ignored the judges and did it anyway. Judges then said he had to return the people he kidnapped. He ignored them again.

    A law is only a law if it is enforced. Until I see that fat orange fuck being perp walked through the Rose Garden in handcuffs, laws don’t mean shit.

        Yep they have zero power or authority now. I’m sure the DoJ would help enforce any rulings that they agree with. They’ll just ignore any they don’t.

    What a judge says is apparently not relevant for the Drumpfster or this regime in general.

    At this point, any negative ruling against the regime means the same as vibes.
