Sums up the point of my job perfectly. @gsiskind
“Oh Balogun is just playing for the U.S. because he couldn’t make the England squad”…Folks, that is the entire promise of our nation.
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
And then we’ll beat your ass with them.

A few people have questioned whether the EO, in fact, would cover him. “or (2)
when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but
temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful
permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.” His parents were only in the US in temporary visas when he was born so the policy would cover him.

A reminder that Flo Balogun would not be on the US Men's National Team if Trump's birthright citizenship order was in place when he was born in NY. The first US man to score more than one goal in a World Cup match since the very first World Cup in 1930.

The most important American leader in the world has a different take on immigration than that other guy.

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity.
“You are not numbers or case files.
“You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

BREAKING - Dorcas judge says vacating of USCIS 39 countries benefits pause must take effect NOW.
"1. The Challenged Policies as a whole—the Benefits Hold Policy, the Global Asylum Hold Policy, the Comprehensive Re-Review Policy, and the
Country-Specific Factors Policy—are contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious in violation of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), (C). Therefore, the Challenged Policies are vacated and set aside pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 706(2).
2. Partial final judgment shall enter in favor of Plaintiffs and against the Government on Counts I and II of Plaintiffs’ Complaint (ECF No. 1).
3. Within twenty-four (24) hours, the Government shall file a status report, advising the Court as to what specific steps it has taken to comply with the
Court’s Order.
4. The Court retains jurisdiction to enforce this judgment."

Trump officials are correct that more doctors would improve patient care and help tame healthcare costs. However, the Trump admin has enacted several restrictive immigration policies that have blocked physicians from America. @David_J_Bier @gsiskind forbes.com/sites/stuartander…

Congratulations, they’re going to prioritize the roughly 1 to 2 dozen cases of noncitizen voting they have in the system (given how incredibly rare it is), which represent like .0008% of cases pending in the immigration courts.
What a pointless memo.

Only Americans should be electing America’s leaders. Foreign citizens who illegally vote in our elections are deportable, regardless of their immigration status. Today, I issued a directive to ICE attorneys to prioritize these cases.

One thing Stuart is correct to note is that the two other cases are still very relevant because the government is going to do everything it can to avoid following Judge Sorokin's order including appealing up to the 1st Circuit (and then Supreme Court).

“FIFA president Gianni Infantino insisted last year the U.S. immigration rules would not be an issue at the World Cup, saying there was "a lot of misconception out there" and stating: "Everyone will be welcome". That’s what you get for trusting President Stephen Miller.

The judge rejected the Trump admin’s argument that the $100,000 fee was not a “tax” but merely “a regulatory payment.” The Supreme Court has ruled the power to tax belongs to Congress, not the president (or Stephen Miller). @David_J_Bier @gsiskind forbes.com/sites/stuartander…

And why would people expect him to honor that?
CBS News: ICE will be at the World Cup.
But Trump administration Border Czar Tom Homan tells me the “primary focus” of ICE officers will be security — not immigration arrests.

BREAKING: State AGs have won their suit challenging the $100,000 H-1B tax.
The court granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs. "The Policy implementing the Proclamation is declared unlawful and is VACATED in its entirety."
“The Supreme Court’s reasoning in this pair of precedents supports a finding that the $100,000 payment requirement amounts to a tax, not a penalty.”
Presumably, an appeal is coming and we still await decisions in the Global Nurse Force case (I'm co-counsel) and in the Chamber's case in the DC Circuit.

"Accordingly, the Court VACATES the Policy materials implementing the Proclamation’s $100,000 payment requirement. In addition to vacatur, Plaintiffs seek a “judicial declaration that the Policy is unlawful in violation of the APA and the Constitution.” Doc. No. 87 at 31. Defendants’ only objection to this requested relief is that “declaratory judgment alone would not
redress Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries because . . . that judgment would not affect the Proclamation nor would it enjoin any future action.” Doc. No. 93 at 47. But this concern is not applicable here, where the Court has also ordered vacatur of the challenged agency action. Therefore, the Court issues declaratory judgment."

The court denied the states' request for a permanent injunction, but only because it said the vacatur provides sufficient relief.
