Much to my consternation, I was not able to muster the energy Monday night to put together an Evening Docket edition. The good news is: There wasn't a ton of activity over the weekend. That said, the court rulings were plentiful enough Monday and Tuesday that this twofer edition of the Docket is going to wind up a tad on the lengthy side — but it does at least include some wins (albeit small ones) for the Trump administration.
It seems to me the easiest way to scan these visually is via the tweets, so I'm sticking with that format for the time being. And I'm going to arrange the cases in alphabetical rather than chronological order.
So, here's what we have for the past few days in terms of substantive rulings or dispositions:
First up, a small, partial victory for the administration:
And another small victory:
This one's sort of a wash — the status quo remains:
And a not terribly surprising decision out of California:
Then we have a bit of a puzzler out of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals:
Another small-ish victory for the administration:
I suspect they'll take it:
The court would like some answers in this one:
Speaking of washes:
This one's a weird one I couldn't initially figure out (and haven't had the time to really dissect):
This one's another small win for the administration:
This one's a loss with a hefty price tag (although, in D.C. dollars, maybe not):
Another win of sorts:
And another win of sorts:
A bit more on that two-year-old U.S. citizen who was removed from the country with her illegal immigrant mother — and some insight into why a conservative judge (author of that spectacular July 4, 2023, decision in Missouri v. Biden) pressed pause to ask some questions:
Montana saved the day on Friday and continued in that vein on Monday:
And last but not least, one more small win:
And this article's long enough that I'm not going to add in the newly filed cases — we'll save those for a pithier edition.
