Apparently this is controversial -- Democrat EOs have More Constitutional Power than Republican ones, but the Supreme Court will allow a Republican EO to cancel a Democrat one just this once.
In an unsigned order that seven of the justices backed, the court stayed a district court decision that prevented the Trump administration from revoking Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from over a half-million migrants in the US. The court's order allows the Department of Homeland Security to initiate removal processes for these migrants even while a First Circuit appellate panel considers the case on appeal.

Presumably, seven justices on the Supreme Court recognize that policy control comes with democratic elections as an expression of the will of the electorate. Since the apparent 7-2 majority on this order never explain themselves, we can only presume that they feel Trump is likely to prevail on that basis. We do get a big hint in that direction by the language of the stay: the court has ordered a stay to remain in effect regardless of how the First Circuit rules in due course on the appeal. If the appeal sides with the district court, it will have no effect as long as the White House seeks cert with the Supreme Court "in a timely manner." Clearly, the seven justices -- including Elena Kagan, interestingly -- feel that the Trump administration is likely to prevail on the merits if and when they review the case.
Ketanji Brown and Wise Latina Sotomayor dissented. See the link for that sh*tshow.
Stephen Milller blasted a CNN reporter for resorting to leftwing euphemisms for "illegal aliens with criminal records as long as the Rio Grande."
Brown questioned Miller on the case, using the flowery descriptor of Reyes as an "undocumented migrant." She also failed to note the Mexican national's criminal record while portraying him in an isolated manner as a "victim of a crime."
Miller wasn't interested in playing games.
"I want to clarify what you mean so we're talking about the same thing," Miller replied. "Are you saying this immigrant was here illegally?"
Brown falsely claimed she had clarified her comments when, in reality, she only altered the phrasing from "undocumented migrant" to "undocumented immigrant."
He is neither of those. With a criminal record, he is most definitely documented. And he is neither a migrant nor an immigrant; he is a criminal illegal alien, regardless of what another criminal may have done to set him up.
"You said undocumented, and I wasn't clear what that means," Miller continued, noting that such a word could assert that he simply had a fake ID.
Brown was disgusted with the retort.
"I want this to be, and call me naive, a good faith discussion about what's happening right now," she countered.
Miller shot back, "When we use language that's designed to obscure the truth, that's not good faith. An illegal alien is an illegal alien. They're not an 'undocumented migrant.'"

Kinda-sorta related, if you squint: The FBI is finally going to investigate antifa terrorists.
Doesn't Bongino know that antifa is "just an idea" and might not even exist?
