BREAKING: #SCOTUS denies request to block nationwide injunction against new asylum policy. Dissenters: Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh.

This means Roberts refused to let the Trump administration jump the lower courts & decide this immediately. It has to play out in the lower courts first. https://t.co/tLPgGrddyi— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) December 21, 2018
Despite what several politically partisan judges might think, as the head of the Executive Branch, it is well within President Trump's authority to change the asylum policy of federal branch agencies such as the Border Patrol and DHS.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) December 21, 2018
