Supreme Court declines to revive Biden-era rule on pausing deportation cases

What happened?

1. The regulation allowed immigration judges to close or suspend adjudication of deportation cases indefinitely when efficient or to protect a claimant's due process rights (The Epoch Times).
2. The Justice Department said it would not defend the rule; Texas then sued, and the federal government and Texas filed a joint motion asking the judge to rule for Texas, after which the judge entered a permanent injunction against the rule (The Epoch Times).
3. A U.S. district judge in Texas denied the city of Baltimore, two other cities and a nonprofit permission to intervene in the case (The Epoch Times).

The Supreme Court on Oct. 27 denied a request to block a Texas district judge's ruling that a Biden-era regulation allowing immigration judges to close or suspend deportation cases was unlawful. The Justice Department had declined to defend the rule and joined Texas in asking the judge to rule against it, and the judge later refused to let Baltimore, two other cities and a nonprofit intervene. The applicants argued the Immigration and Nationality Act authorizes administrative closure and that the injunction should not apply nationwide.
