Judge Jeffrey Beaverstock (Trump1) imposes a stay on immigration policies going to 4A in case of Leo Vanegas, a US citizen snatched twice from privately owned construction sites in AL. The decision directly interprets Kavanaugh Stops. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Court has considered the implication of both remedies and determined the best
course of action is to temporarily stay the policies. Although this Court has found that Venegas is likely to succeed on the merits, it also recognizes that “[a]n injunction is a drastic and
extraordinary remedy,” Monsanto Co. v. Geertson Seed Farms, 561 U.S. 139, 165, 130 S.Ct. 2743,
177 L.Ed.2d 461 (2010). In the Court’s opinion, staying the likely unlawful policies is a less drastic
remedy sufficient to redress Plaintiff’s alleged injury. See e.g., Kidd v. Mayorkas, 734 F.Supp.3d
967, 987 (S.D. Cal. May 15, 2024) (“the Court finds the less drastic remedy of vacatur to be
sufficient to redress the “Knock and Talk” Class's injury”). Accordingly, the Court will temporarily
stay the (1) Warrantless Entry Policy (permitting immigration officers to raid private construction
sites without a warrant or consent), (2) Preemptive Detention Policy (permitting immigration
officers to preemptively detain employees without a particularized suspicion that persons are
illegal immigrants), and (3) Continued Detention Policy (permitting immigration officers to
continue detaining workers even after they show evidence of citizenship or lawful presence.

BREAKING: Eleventh Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, upholds injunction blocking Florida from enforcing its 2022 Stop WOKE Act in the university context. The majority opinion is from Judge Britt Grant, a Trump appointee: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Before GRANT, LAGOA, and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
GRANT, Circuit Judge:
"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech." U.S. Const. amend I. The First Amendment, incorporated against the States in 1868, is this country's written commitment to the idea that freedom of speech is essential to freedom of thought, and that both are essential to maintaining our liberty. The Supreme Court has long been clear that teaching and scholarship are due some measure of protection under the Amendment. But how much? And in what contexts? That Court has not had to say, but this one is now put to the test. The State of Florida legislated a broad set of speech restrictions banning certain viewpoints relating to race, color, sex, and national origin in various settings. The provision at issue here bars Florida's educators from promoting or endorsing those distavored ideas when instructing students. Its prohibition applies not only in primary and secondary education, where states traditionally exercise a great deal of control, but also in public colleges and universities, where the state government's role has been far more limited.
When several groups of professors challenged Florida's new restrictions, the State cast about for an existing case or doctrine that could support its speech ban in the university setting. Finding none, it tried to marry public-employee speech cases with government speech doctrine, resulting in a new rule: if thegovernment pays a professor's salary, it has total control over her classroom speech.
That is not a blessed union. Florida's salary-for-speech rule is a breathtaking assertion of power to ban unpopular ideas from public discourse in the very places the State's own statutes recognize as centers of inquiry-classrooms where students are trusted to puzzle through ideas that are good and bad, easy and hard, ideally getting ever closer to the truth. This new rule also runs headlong into the Supreme Court's repeated, if imprecise, endorsements of academic freedom. If the First Amendment offers any boundary of protection at all for public university classrooms, this statute crosses it.
Nor does this Court's leading academic speech precedent,
Bishop v. Aronov, demand the outcome Florida seeks. 926 F.2d 1066 (11th Cir. 1991). In fact, it counsels the opposite. The restriction in that case was imposed by one university, against one professor, relating to speech about one thing— personal religious views that got in the way of the course's well-understood parameters.That precedent makes clear that universities and even other government entities have crucial authority to shape curricular content, discipline teachers, and take other steps to guide and govern postsecondary education. But the speech ban Florida's political leaders seek to impose here is different in both nature and degree from these ordinary concerns. The rule Florida developed for this case does not withstand scrutiny.
11 Case: 22-13992
Document: 156-1 Date Filed: 07/07/2026 Page:
22-13992
Opinion of the Court
5
The ideas Florida targets may well be noxious. Or maybe
not.
Either way, in this context the First Amendment trusts students to figure it out for themselves. We affirm the district court's preliminary injunction.
