The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hand down a pivotal decision that could finally put an end to one of the Left’s favorite judicial tricks: nationwide injunctions designed to paralyze conservative executive action.
According to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a looming Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions could have “enormous” impacts on the Trump administration.
Turley said Tuesday that the high court will likely crack down on rogue activist judges.
The SCOTUS is poised to decide on the practice by federal judges that can currently halt executive branch policies affecting the entire country.
Conservatives have argued that injunctions have been strategically sought in left-wing jurisdictions.
The moves are part of a strategy to undermine the Trump administration’s agenda on immigration enforcement and deportations.
“It’s going to be an enormous decision potentially,” Turley explained.
The legal scholar noted that a decision may come on Thursday.
“For the administration in the immigration areas, as well as other areas, the court could very well say, ‘Enough. We’re not going to have individual judges freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this.”
Turley said that many of the injunctions are brought in “favorable” jurisdictions in front of “favorable” judges.
Those activist judges issue the injunctions that are favorable to Democrats and stop the president’s policies in their tracks.
The law professor cited U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, a Boston-based federal judge.
Murphy presided over a class-action lawsuit from illegal aliens who are challenging deportations to third countries that are not their nations of origin, including South Sudan, El Salvador, and others.
The third nations are those that the Trump administration has reportedly eyed in its ongoing wave of deportations.
Murphy previously ordered the Trump administration to keep in U.S. custody all illegal migrants slated for deportation to a country not “explicitly” named in their removal orders.
This week, however, the court granted the Trump administration’s request to stay the lower court’s injunction.
The move greenlights the Trump administration to deport individuals to third countries.
Turley broke down the ruling on Tuesday, saying:
“The lower court judge said that, ‘You’re sending these people to countries that you’ve advised Americans to leave because of the violence.’
“But ICE is saying, ‘Look, there’s a reason why their home countries don’t want them. Countries are not clamoring to get more felons to augment their home population, and that’s not our fault. It’s your fault. You committed crimes here, and you are deportable, and we’re not a travel agency, so if your home country doesn’t want you, then we’re going to find the next best option.’
“With this order, they’re allowed to do that,” he said.
