I think the only nit I would pick with this summary is that if the current case gets amended to assert a class action the district court in fairly short order could certify a class or perhaps issue a new injunction based on a proposed class (not sure if court has power to enjoin for entire prospective class prior to certification) to prevent anyone from being deported under EO before current injunction expires (which I thought I heard wouldn't be for another 30 days).
Typically you are automatically in if you fall within the scope of the certified class and would then have to opt out if you didn't want the ruling to apply to you.
@TwiceHorn Do you know if the plaintiff(s) in this case can easily amend to assert class action allegations? If so I wonder whether and how quickly the district court could then certify the class or issue a TRO/TI based on class action claims. Seems like the only way to address this nationwide.
The ramifications of this decision on cases in which class action certification would not be available are huge and will likely lead to bizarre outcomes.
Congress and now the courts have ceded their authority to the executive branch. Welcome to the new fascist monarchy.
No one on this board is downplaying the military's job for political purposes. The Trump administration is clearly overselling an impressive operation because of....politics.
Some on this board are wondering exactly how this sort of operation was as complex as the administration is claiming.
Did they have to operate with radio and all other communications silence while coordinating? If there were multiple pilots, how does a 36 hour flight rise to the level of unprecedented and difficult? etc., etc.
Remember that time when Barbara Bush called Geraldine Ferraro a bitch (well actually she didn't say the word but just said it "rhymes with rich")? I do. Lots of pearls were clutched.
