Supreme Court Lets Texas-DOJ End 2024 Immigration Rule With No Dissents

Summary
The Supreme Court allowed a Texas-Justice Department agreement to take effect, leaving intact a lower-court order that wiped out a 2024 Biden-era rule on administrative closure in deportation cases.
That rule had let immigration judges temporarily pause some removal proceedings while migrants pursued other federal immigration relief; Texas sued in June, saying the policy lacked legal authority.
DOJ then agreed with Texas and asked Judge Reed O’Connor to vacate the rule and bar similar ones, prompting opponents to accuse the two sides of colluding to erase the policy.
Three cities—Baltimore, New Haven and Columbus—and Centro Legal de la Raza tried to intervene, arguing the rule’s loss could trigger deportations and cut tax revenue, but O’Connor rejected their standing and the Supreme Court declined to block the judgment.
