Justices denied on a 5-4 vote the administration’s request to put on hold a federal judge’s order at least temporarily
The supreme court on Friday dealt a blow to Donald Trump by refusing to allow his administration to implement new rules prohibiting asylum for people who cross the US border illegally, a key component of his policies aimed making it harder for immigrants to enter and stay in the United States.

5-4 Vote?
Ginsburg had surgery Friday, did Ginsburg vote from her hospital bed?
Makes you wonder doesn’t it!
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
