9th Circuit just gave ICE a great ruling…

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just issued a great ruling in ICE’s favor, granting an appeal by DHS and vacating a preliminary injunction by a lower court.

Here’s the ruling:

Not only did they lift the injunction, but they agreed with DHS that the district court got the standing issue wrong. The court writes:

The district court considered only Plaintiffs’ allegations of past harm. Although past harm may support standing to seek damages, it does not, on its own, establish standing to seek prospective injunctive relief. … Accordingly, we remand to the district court for the limited purpose of determining in the first instance whether Plaintiffs have standing to seek prospective relief. Without assurance of standing, we lift the preliminary injunction, but if new allegations of harm arise during the pendency of this remand, nothing precludes the district court from considering additional requests for relief.

Another activist judge struck down, and rightly so. I wonder if the district court judge has ever heard ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ because they clearly had it backward.
