Supreme Court upholds Biden’s immigration enforcement plan, tosses out Texas lawsuit

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a key part of President Biden’s plan for targeted immigration enforcement, ruling the administration may focus its efforts on arresting and deporting those who pose a current danger.

In a 8-1 decision, the justices said Texas and Louisiana lacked standing to sue for the enforcement policy.

Writing for the court, Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh said “the states essentially want the federal judiciary to order the executive branch to alter its arrest policy so as to make more arrests. But this court has long held ‘that a citizen lacks standing to contest the policies of the prosecuting authority when he himself is neither prosecuted nor threatened with prosecution’.”

Sounds like the SC made another correct decision, much as it did a year ago when to rendered the Dobbs decision, saving millions of lives in the process.

Good for them.

So you're in agreement that Biden administration sets deportation policy and Texas was wrong

Good for you 😂

8-1 decision suggests the SC got it right.

See how easy it is when you don't make politics the center of your life?

It's not really a win. They just don't have standing.

States need to stop trying to get the courts to legislate from the bench.

That is a clear win

No one has standing to sue...The federal executive branch is responsible for immigration policy

No one else

"Standing" is not some small inconsequential matter...it might be the basis for the Student Loan decision also

Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh rules states can't sue the government just over 'indirect' harm from a federal policy. One of the lawsuits blocking Biden's student-debt relief involves 6 states doing exactly that.

• ustice Brett Kavanaugh authored a new opinion that ruled two states didn't have standing to sue the government.
• It's the second case led by a conservative justice that scrutinizes a state's standing to sue.
• One of the cases blocking Biden's debt-relief was brought by six GOP-led states.

Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh just ruled against two states' standing to sue the federal government. There's a similar issue in one of the lawsuits seeking to block President Joe Biden's student-loan forgiveness.

On Friday, Kavanaugh authored an opinion in the case United States v. Texas, in which Texas and Louisiana sued the Department of Homeland Security and accused it of violating federal law for prioritizing some non-US citizens who entered the country illegally for arrest and deportation over others. The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the states lack standing to bring the suit, with Justice Sam Alito as the lone dissent.

Standing is a legal burden every plaintiff must prove before a court can even consider whether the policy being challenged is illegal. To prove standing, plaintiffs must show that they'd be injured by the policy, that the injury can be directly traced back to the defendant, and that the relief they're seeking would address those injuries.

"This bedrock constitutional requirement has its roots in the separation of powers," Kavanaugh wrote in the opinion. "So the threshold question here is whether the States have standing to maintain this suit. Based on this Court's precedents and longstanding historical practice, the answer is no."

I think the student loans relief survives with a 5-4 vote based on standing but I could be wrong.
