Remember the victory we had at SCOTUS over nationwide injunctions last week?

I think we can all agree that the greatest accomplishment of Trump’s second term has been the decline in illegal immigration at the border from late January through July.
NPR:
“A federal judge in Washington, D.C. ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration cannot deny entry to people crossing the southern border to apply for asylum. The court found that neither the constitution nor federal immigration law allow the president to make that decision.
The proclamation to deny entry to asylum seekers at the southern border was issued by President Trump on his first day in office.
Asylum has been part of U.S. law since 1980, allowing those who fear for their safety to seek refuge in the U.S. as long as they can show a credible fear of persecution in their home country. In the past, other U.S. presidents had attempted to make asylum seeking more difficult, but the scope of Trump’s order was unprecedented. …”
We have celebrated the turnaround.
This decision could potentially unravel that progress.
It has been less than a week since the Supreme Court ruled on the tyranny of federal district court judges trying to usurp power from the executive branch. That’s why I didn’t feel the need to chime in every single time a Trump policy hit a speed bump like this in a lower court. I figured that the Supreme Court would eventually put a stop to it. This is the first attempt to exploit a loophole.
