I’d be REAL Surprised if the Supreme’s entertain this request….
They stepped up to STOP the Trump people REAL QUICK, eh?
Not listening to the High Court, Appeals Courts and other Federal Judges ain’t helping the Trump Admin case?
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Saturday afternoon to reject an emergency request to temporarily pause the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants to El Salvador swiftly detained in portions of Texas.
In a court filing, Solicitor General D. John Sauer asked the high court to “dissolve its current administrative stay” issued early Saturday and to allow “lower courts to address the relevant legal and factual questions.”…

“The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court,” the Supreme Court’s order reads….
…
The class extends to any migrant detained in the Northern District of Texas who is being removed under the 18th century Alien Enemies Act. It does not apply elsewhere, though judges overseeing separate cases have temporarily blocked deportations for those detained in the Southern District of New York, the District of Colorado and the Southern District of Texas….

Steve Vladeck: “First, the full Court didn’t wait for the Fifth Circuit—or act through the individual Circuit Justice (Justice Alito). Even in other fast-moving emergency applications, the Court has often made a show out of at least appearing to wait for the lower courts to rule before intervening—even if that ruling might not have influenced the outcome. Here, though, the Court didn’t wait at all; indeed, the order specifically invites the government to respond once the Fifth Circuit weighed in—acknowledging that the Fifth Circuit hadn’t ruled (and, indeed, that the government hadn’t responded to the application in the Supreme Court) yet. This may seem like a technical point, but it underscores how seriously the Court, or at least a majority of it, took the urgency of the matter…”
“Second, the Court didn’t hide behind any procedural technicalities…. Here, though, the Court jumped right to the substantive relief the applicants sought—again, reinforcing not just the urgency of the issue, but its gravity.”
“Third, and perhaps most significantly, the Court seemed to not be content with relying upon representations by the government’s lawyers.”
