Something happened in federal court yesterday that no one has yet realized. It's an incredible assault on the rule of law and will have major foreign policy, fiscal, and humanitarian implications for many years to come. https://t.co/JNautalWnF /1

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts in the "Chevron" decision: "Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do."

A clear sign that we’re well into an era of speaking power to truth. Kudos to @steve_vladeck for both his reporting on this issue and for his grace in the face of Judge Jones’ unseemly ambush. https://t.co/SSK22Eyixi

Since the CHNV humanitarian parole programs started, many Americans have stepped up to welcome global neighbors with resounding enthusiasm. Now... the programs are under attack. Our comms coordinator Joan Agoh breaks down Texas v. DHS & how you can defend the #FreedomToWelcome:

Congrats, Nancy!

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

CONFIRMED: Nancy Abudu to the Eleventh Circuit.

She’s spent a majority of her career as a civil rights lawyer defending the rights of all Americans, and she will be the first Black woman to ever serve on this court.

An invaluable perspective.

In the last few months I've become obsessed with the concept that measuring immigration policy based on border apprehensions is like judging the economy just based on job loss, and I'm pleased I can just post this link whenever I think about it now. https://t.co/YpmC7eEFhG

This week has been FULL of disturbing border/asylum developments. But here's your reminder that today the Fifth Circuit was *supposed* to hear oral arguments in Louisiana v CDC, the case brought by Republican-led states to challenge the Biden Admin's termination of Title 42. 1/9

In Tijuana doing a legal clinic and trying to explain to people that the reason they can’t take their photo within the CBP One app is because it has trouble recognizing darker complexions. Two @ImmDef lawyers have been working to take one person’s photo for 20 minutes.

We highly welcome the US District Court's decision and truly appreciate @OSFJustice and the legal team for their full support and tireless efforts. All victims of terrorism deserve justice & compensation but from the real perpetrators.

خرسندم که بعد از یک سال تلاش های پی گیر تیم حقوقی ما توانست در دعوی حفظ ۳.۵ میلیارد دالر سرمایه های منجمد شده افغانستان برنده شود. امروز ۲۱ فبروری محکمه نیویارک حکم نهایی رد درخواست پرداخت غرامت از سرمایه های منجمد شده ای بانک مرکزی افغانستان به فامیل های قربانیان حادثه ۱۱ سپتمبر را صادر نمود. این خبر خوش برای مردم افغانستان مبارک باد.

Here's a #DACA update on the latest filing by the state of Texas in their case seeking to end the DACA program. The most important point up top: nothing changes with this court filing. Renewals are still open to folks with existing DACA. So, here's what happened today...

A billionaire losing a “do you like me” poll on a service he paid $44 billion for is just an objectively funny way for this whole thing to end

I'm proud to represent @faiq_naseer and to file a brief (discussed in this article) on his behalf explaining why the Taliban's bills cannot be paid off the backs of the Afghan people.

The NBA today announced that no games will be played on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022.

The scheduling decision came out of the NBA family’s focus on promoting nonpartisan civic engagement and encouraging fans to make a plan to vote during midterm elections.

New: DOJ asked the 5th Circuit to rethink its decision denying the govt's request to issue its mandate sooner in the "Remain in Mexico" case.

Govt says the delay "serves no purpose" and "imposes unjustified harms on the government and the public." https://t.co/yffMyNCgSK
