A federal judge ordered agents not to retaliate against people “engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity” in the state and not to stop drivers who are not “forcibly obstructing” officers.

    Thanks for posting this. I’m having some difficulty trying to find out what what the acronyms CASA and A.A.R.P. represent tho (what I’ve found doesn’t make sense in this context).

      CASA are an immigrants rights group that have lawyers that represent them. AARP are a retired persons’ advocacy group.

      How they are used here are to name the cases of two specific decisions the Supreme Court made, so the Plaintiff(s) and/or Defendant(s)’ names are just used as a shorthand reference to it. Both cases are related to the immigration effort.

      In AARP, the Supreme Court said better due process needed to be afforded and the government is enjoined from removing detainees under the Alien Enemies Act without due process and sufficient notice.

      In CASA, the Supreme Court basically wants to prevent lower courts from stopping the government from removing detainees too broadly. This is despite they themselves found a month earlier that they needed to put to a stop the administration’s violations of due process.
