On Tuesday the Supreme Court, with no noted dissents, denied a request by three cities and an immigrant legal-services group to pause a Texas-Justice Department agreement that blocks a Biden-era rule letting immigration judges pause certain deportation cases, SCOTUSblog reported. On Thursday, opponents urged the justices to deny the administration's request to resume border-wall construction in Texas's Big Bend region, which remains pending. The November sitting opens Monday with Maxwell v. Dinis and Younge v. Fulton Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office.
