lawfag here
remember the recent EO potus issued on separation
it included a statement they could not legally STOP separating due to a prior court case and settlement agreement
so they asked the court to approve deviating from that agreement and the court said no because its up to congress to fix the law not the court
its a punt
could have gone the other way
do not know the politics of this judge
its ok as now potus can blame congress and say he did all he could to stop seperating
chaos snafu
