US Supreme Court denies immigration judges the power to shelve deportation cases - Reuters

The US Supreme Court has ruled that immigration judges do not possess the authority to shelve deportation cases. This decision confirms that the Trump administration can legally block judges from closing these proceedings. While immigration advocates previously viewed the ability to pause such cases as a useful tool for protecting migrants seeking refuge, the high court's ruling restricts this practice, ensuring that the executive branch maintains control over the closure of deportation cases.
