This is the compelling, moving, and no-brainer district court ruling the Supreme Court's six Trump acolytes just overturned. District court judges are routinely finding that Trump has violated the law. Then SCOTUS happens. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS AND ON PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT MURPHY, J. This case is about whether the Government may, without notice, deport a person to the wrong country, or a country where he is likely to be persecuted, or tortured, thereby depriving that person of the opportunity to seek protections to which he would be undisputedly entitled.  The Department of Homeland Security has adopted a policy whereby it may take people and drop them off in parts unknown—in so-called “third countries”—and, “as long as the Department doesn’t already know that there’s someone standing there waiting to shoot . . . that’s fine.”1 It is not fine, nor is it legal.  Congress made it “the policy of the United States not to expel, extradite, or otherwise effect the involuntary return of any person to a country” where that “person would be in danger of being subjected to torture.”2  Congress decided that the Government “may not remove” someone to a country where her “life or freedom would be threatened” on account of her “race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.”3  These are our laws, and it is with profound gratitude for the unbelievable luck of being born in the United States of America that this Court affirms these and our nation’s bedrock principle: that no “person” in this country may be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

To quote a @chrislhayes.bsky.social jape at the Roberts Court: "They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one."
Steve Vladeck, a professor a Georgetown Law, writes up breaking developments from the Supreme Court. The last post in the three-post thread is the kicker, for our purpose here.

"#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the third-country removals case; clears way for Trump admin. to continue removing non-citizens without a full chance to litigate the conditions in those countries (while also taking up the full merits appeal).

"By my math, the order was filed 11 minutes after the Trump administration's reply brief came in."

Awful: The Supreme Court just let Trump's third-country deportations move forward. Still a shot at stopping them later but unlikely. Reminder: If Dems win power, they can and should defund both the white-nationalist Office of Remigration and third-country deportations, as I argue in this piece:

"To restore pluralistic democracy, Democrats need just enough power to: Abolish the filibuster; Expand the Supreme Court; Create at least two new states (but ideally more) out of existing territories of disenfranchised American citizens."
"To restore pluralistic democracy, Democrats need just enough power to:

Abolish the filibuster;

Expand the Supreme Court;

Create at least two new states (but ideally more) out of existing territories of disenfranchised American citizens.

That’s it. This wouldn’t be the end of the project. But it’s the threshold. What’s necessary, but not sufficient. It can be done without a supermajority.

A wider berth would be better. Nobody disputes that. And there’s no inescapable tension between majoritymaxxing and priming Democrats to wield power once they claim it—or at least there shouldn’t be. But to the extent that one of these objectives must come at the expense of the other, democracymaxxing should take precedence.

Everyone has a role to play. Leaders of the progressive insurgency should feel a sense of obligation to disclaim candidates who might win Democratic primaries but lose general elections to fascists. Ambitious red-state Democrats should stand aside for independents who lack the party’s brand baggage, and thus stand better odds of winning statewide.

But it is the work of moderates to ferret out who in the party would stand in the way of democracy protection, and either disabuse them or expose them so that a) they can be targeted by viable primary challengers, and b) party leaders know how much of a buffer they’ll need.

This is, I’d argue, the most important work of all."

NEW: The Supreme Court, over the objections of the 3 liberal justices, grants a stay in the D.V.D. litigation, authorizing the Trump admin to resume third country removals without any notice to people being sent to countries they've never been to. The Court also agrees to hear the case in December.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2026 CERTIORARI GRANTED 26-426 DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL. (26A406) The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026 order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed. The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents’ claims. (2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f)(1). (3) Whether the Government’s Guidance on third-country removals is unlawful under 8 U. S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations. (4) Such other questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the proper disposition of the case. The Clerk is directed to establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court. Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the application for stay.
