There Was a Pretty Big Win for Trump's Deportation Agenda Today

The Supreme Court declined to restore a Biden-era policy that allowed immigration judges to delay deportation orders. It was typically invoked in asylum claims, which, as we’ve seen this week, are being abused. CBS News’ 60 Minutes aired a sob story about the wife and children of Moussa Diawara, who said they miss him. Well, he’s gay, so this might be a case of immigration fraud. These people are going back — there were no dissents on this order (via Scotusblog):

#BREAKING: Supreme Court won’t restore Biden-era rule allowing judges to stop deportation cases.

— Insider Wire (@InsiderWire) October 27, 2026

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to restore a Biden-era regulation that allows immigration judges to suspend some deportation proceedings. In a brief, unsigned order, the court turned down a request from three cities and a group that provides legal services to immigrants to pause an agreement between Texas and the U.S. Department of Justice that threw out the rule.

There were no noted dissents.

The regulation at the center of the dispute, which provides what is known as “administrative closure,” was adopted by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, part of the Department of Justice, in 2024. Under it, immigration judges may suspend some deportation proceedings – for example, to allow a crime victim or witness to seek relief, such as asylum, from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which is a separate agency.

Fake & Gay! Moussa Diawara, the Malian national featured in this shockingly poorly researched @60Minutes report, now faces allegations of immigration FRAUD after his asylum application surfaced, revealing that he claimed to be a HOMOSEXUAL man who feared persecution in Mali. Read more ⬇️
