TODAY: Alito writes for 6-3 majority holding that ICE/CBP detainees can't sue as a class to challenge systemic violations of their rights.

Although specifically reviewing class actions by detainees, this decision would appear to bar most injunctive class actions against immigration authorities. Pls read Sotomayor's summary in her dissent of the enormous burden #SCOTUS has just placed on immigrants & advocates
the Biden admin pushed for MUCH WORSE
"[T]he Court rightly does not embrace the Govt's 11th-hour suggestion... to hold that [the INA] bars even classwide declaratory relief, [which] would leave many noncitizens with no practical remedy whatsoever against clear violations..."

You read that right: Biden's lawyers were trying to argue that this applied to essentially ALL attempts for immigrants to sue the government for collective violations of their rights--a position apparently BEYOND what the Trump admin was willing to take. I need a walk.
where's that endless scream account when you need it?
