An El Paso district judge stopped border construction along the entire Big Bend sector of Texas. Yesterday the Supreme Court granted the government's emergency application and lifted that order, 8 to 1, with two of the Court's three liberal justices joining the majority and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson alone in dissent, without explaining why.
Robert McNeily, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action, has ridden along with Border Patrol in the Arizona sector and describes what 341 unbuilt miles look like from the ground: cartels moving drugs and people through the gaps, checkpoints 30 miles inland, and migrants freezing in the high desert overnight because the people who brought them do not care whether they live.
Kris Ullman, president of Eagle Forum and an attorney, explains the legal side. The order is a stay, not a final ruling, which means construction continues while the case works through the courts, and an 8 to 1 stay usually signals that the justices expect the administration to win. More than that, she calls it a statement against lawfare: one aggrieved party and one district judge should not be able to stop a national policy by filing a lawsuit. Jenny Beth Martin agrees, and says she would accept the same rule if the roles were reversed and a leftist president were on the winning side.
