Per Curiam SCOTUS Decision Stays WD Tex Injunction Preventing Border Development in Big Bend Sector
In a short 4-ish page decision today, SCOTUS issued a per curiam decision lifting an injunction put in place by the WD Tex prohibiting U.S. development of border barriers in the Big Bend Sector.
The Government is exceedingly likely to prevail on its argument that the District Court lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate respondents’ so-called major-questions-doctrine claim. ...
the District Court’s order ... delays the Government’s construction of border barriers and roads in the Big Bend Sector. The injunction thus impedes the Government from advancing its “compelling interests” in border security and integrity.
