Supreme Court Declines to Restore Administrative Closure for Immigration Judges, Leaving Nationwide Order in Place

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied an emergency request to suspend a lower court judgment that invalidated a Biden administration regulation allowing immigration judges to temporarily pause deportation proceedings. This decision leaves in place a nationwide court order that eliminates a key procedural tool used to give immigrants time to pursue legal relief. The Court provided no explanation for its one-sentence order in *City of Baltimore v. Texas*, and no justice publicly dissented.
