No new Supreme Court orders overnight; cities' bid to revive Biden deportation-pause rule still pending
The Supreme Court's public docket showed no new overnight action Friday morning on the emergency application from Baltimore, New Haven, Columbus and an immigrant legal-services group asking justices to pause a Texas-DOJ consent judgment that voided a 2024 Biden-era "administrative closure" rule letting immigration judges suspend some deportation cases. After Texas sued in Judge Reed O'Connor's court, DOJ agreed the rule should be set aside; O'Connor entered a final consent judgment tossing the rule, denied the cities' intervention for lack of standing, and the Fifth Circuit refused interim relief, SCOTUSblog and the Washington Examiner reported Thursday. The Court's home page still highlighted this week's argued cases (Beaird v. United States on Oct. 13 and Salazar v. Paramount Global on Oct. 14) and the stay of a Fourth Circuit order rushing an FCC political-ad-rate decision; no Friday argument session was listed.
