The only thing that matters, is that the federal CBP and DHS have until mid-March of 2024 — to answer the Texas complaint. [By then, the Fifth Circuit may have already tossed the case.]
Rather churlishly, though, she declined to stay her proceedings while the Fifth Circuit (and perhaps Supremes) decide whether federal statutes unchanged though nearly a half-century’s worth of litigation practice… mean what they say, at 8 USC § 1225(a)(1) and (3), regarding immigration matters — at the border.
No. . . she chose instead to write (rather imperially) in her two page order’s conclusion “…matters pending in this Court may be clarified by any decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals….”
Welp… in fact, Judge Moses — they may be obliterated, too. Not just “clarified“.
The feds have the right to “inspect” people at our border. See 8 USC § 1225(a)(1), and (3). The razor wire (without serious dispute) is impeding that Congressional mandate.
Game over.
Onward.
