And here's the opinion, in case you need that too, @apnews.com. The judge made it clear this wasn't some sort of "dispute." It was the board ignoring express terms in FEDERAL LAW, bc the board is comprised of sycophantic Trump loyalists.

One stopped restrictions targeting certain visa holders.

Another blocked rules affecting green-card applicants.

This is an important victory for democracy, but the tragedy is that two SC judges will concur with ANYTHING Trump wants to do. The only way to safeguard against this extremism is to expand the Court.
