The Trump administration can’t immediately revoke the deportation protections and work permits of hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally under a Biden-era program, a federal judge ruled Monday.
U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with its plan to terminate the legal status of those migrants on April 24. The administration had warned those affected by its announcement that they would need to self deport by that date or face arrest and deportation by federal immigration agents.
But Talwani suspended the deportation warnings the government had sent and prohibited officials from revoking the legal protection, known as immigration parole, that the Biden administration granted to more than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.

If Trump and his people ignore the courts, the only way to stop them is physically.
Oh, is that the sound of a mob assembling an iconic French life-discontinuing apparatus on Pennsylvania Avenue I hear?
Sadly no. That’s the French protesting increasing the retirement age.
Americans witnessing the loss of democracy and due process? “I sleep”.
White House: “wyd?”
Tomorrow’s headline: Trump revokes legal status of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela
… and that one judge.
Oh there would be more than one. Wouldn’t surprise me before this is all said and done.

SCOTUS gave him total freedom from judicial authority.

His orders can be struck down? You mean like the two times they defied court orders just today, and one of them was a unanimous SCOTUS ruling, with this Court?
That’s the freedom from judicial authority he was given.
The SCOTUS ruling you’re referring to, while still a terrible precedent as a matter of policy, did not give him a blanket legal right to disregard court orders. He’s just doing it anyway.
Maybe not technically, but it effectively did. There’s no material difference.
You’re falling prey to the idea that in theory, theory and practice are identical, but in practice, theory and practice can often diverge sharply.
If he is immune from criminal prosecution for “official acts”, it is fully legal for him to defy court orders about “official acts”. That ruling gave him unchecked power. That ruling was our Enabling Act.

If they’re doing it, then they have the freedom to do it, until something actually stops them.
The courts are irrelevant. I guess they might as well keep doing their thing, but they’ll just be ignored.
The pressure point needs to be congress. Those GOP fuckers need to be afraid of losing their jobs sooner than 2 years from now. Citizens need a way to remove their congressman who is not doing what they want them to do.
The problem is a lot of Americans want this, they’re cheering.
They will only be concerned once “jobs” become “lives”
There is a way to remove congress people ahead of their term.
They’re just keeping America on life support and avoiding admitting America is dead
They made themselves irrelevant and this will be their legacy.
But can the court stop his Gestapo from kidnapping these people anyway and trafficking them for torture, slavery, imprisonment and possibly execution? Because they’re just doing it regardless of what the courts rule.
So?
He’ll deport them and get a slap on the wrist and a strongly worded letter from a judge that he’ll ignore.
And no one will do anything about it.
He won’t ignore the letter, he’ll frame it and put it above his toilet.
It is disgusting that the Orange Turd gets to decide what happens to these people. He should be in jail instead of in the white house.
I think it’s cute that judges pretend the US still has a Judiciary
Much of the population as well…
Well, we do, but it’s for everyone else.
Judges also ruled that he couldn’t black-bag legal residents and citizens and send them to prison camps in El Salvador. He ignored the judges and did it anyway. Judges then said he had to return the people he kidnapped. He ignored them again.
A law is only a law if it is enforced. Until I see that fat orange fuck being perp walked through the Rose Garden in handcuffs, laws don’t mean shit.
Donald: LAAAAWWWW?!
Trump: deports them anyway.
Autocrat gonna autocrat. He’s pretty much established he doesn’t care what the courts say, and his ICE Stasi don’t care either.
Soon to be overruled by the Supreme Court with no need to even file!!
That should solve the problem. International crisis averted.
Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants, because nobody is actually doing anything to stop him other than meekly posting on social media and waving some signs around. Democracy and the rule of law was always sketchy at best in the US, but it’s been dead for months now. And no amount of adorable weekend protests that are sanctioned by the cops are gonna change that.
If you aren’t getting tear gassed, shot at, and imprisoned, you’re being allowed to throw a tantrum to keep you from doing anything useful, and your actions are performative at best.
He can definitely ignore it, though.
