Constitutional power is not symbolic—it is procedural. On May 19, the Supreme Court reinforced that reality.
The Justices granted a stay on a lower court’s injunction, allowing the administration to resume revoking temporary legal status from 350,000 Venezuelan migrants. This group had previously been shielded under a Biden-era humanitarian policy. But the Court ruled that a single district judge cannot preempt the executive branch or disrupt federal immigration enforcement mid-appeal.
This marks a reset of legal boundaries. The pause is not a final decision, but a correction of judicial overreach. The legal fight continues—but now under the proper structure of appeals and constitutional review.
What happens next will define the scope of executive power in immigration. What do you see coming?
