Supreme Court rejects Trump administration’s request in legal challenge to restrictions on speech of immigration judges
As Amy Howe for SCOTUSBlog reports, the Supreme Court today turned down the Trump administration's request in a legal challenge to a policy limiting speaking engagements by immigration judges. A court of appeals had remanded the case to the district court for "more fact-finding on the independence of the administrative scheme set up to deal with claims by federal employees, and – in a brief unsigned order – the justices left that ruling in place." The Court left open the possibility that the U.S. government could seek relief from the Court “if the District Court commences discovery proceedings” before the justices rule on the U.S. government’s petition for review.
