Supreme Court declines to block a DOJ-Texas consent judgment that ended a Biden-era administrative closure immigration rule.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied an emergency application by a coalition of Democratic-led cities to halt a consent judgment between the Justice Department and Texas that voided a Biden-era regulation allowing immigration judges to administratively close deportation cases. The cities, led by Baltimore, argued the DOJ's refusal to defend the rule circumvented rulemaking procedures and could enable similar collusive suits. The Court issued an unsigned order without explanation and no noted dissents.

Supreme Court Allows DOJ Deportation Deal Decried as Collusion
The split, in one line
Right-leaning outlets frame it as Dem cities losing a bid to revive a lax rule; the wires and NYT center the "collusion" claim and the discretion judges lost. All agree on the unsigned order and lack of dissents.
