The 2-1 ruling from the ultra conservative #5thCircuit Court of Appeals means that in several southern states, scores of #immigrants who had been living in the #US unlawfully, including those who were previously allowed to remain out on bond as their case made its way through the #immigration system, can now be detained & denied the opportunity to seek their release through bond hearings before immigration judges.

#SCOTUS has taken up the Mississippi’s appeal after a panel of 3 judges nominated by #Trump on the #5thCircuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2024 that its #law allowing #ballots that arrive shortly after #Election Day to be counted violated federal law.

“No one knows how the Supreme Court will rule,” DeWine said. “However, if the court in late June upholds the 5th Circuit case & Ohio’s grace period for counting late ballots is still in effect, the election situation in Ohio would be chaotic.”

In his ruling, Judge Garcia wrote that “it is impracticable, if not impossible, to prevent plaintiffs from being subjected to unwelcome religious displays” w/o stopping school districts from enforcing that #law.
The decision comes amid an ongoing battle over whether states can legally compel school districts to display the #TenCommandments. In June, a panel of judges on the US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit said a similar law in #Louisiana requiring postings was “plainly unconstitutional.”
Did Trump just bomb 11 people on a boat in the #Caribbean to cover up for a bad news cycle and 2 BIG losses about his ABUSE of war powers and building an ILLEGAL federal police force? @mspopok.bsky.social looks at the lack of coincidence between the #5thCircuit ruling youtu.be/n340XwgHJq4?...
