The requirement known by the law's critics as the "show me your papers" provision has been at the center of a two-year legal battle that culminated in a U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the requirement. Okay, I do understand that this requirement went to SCOTUS and it was upheld.
Opponents then asked Bolton to block the requirement and argued it would lead to racial profiling of Latinos.
Now, I'm not on board. - A district court has no standing to block a Supreme Court decision. What were they thinking?

This is the result of a Remand. The SCOTUS doesn't just rule one way or another: As an appeals court, they decide what the criteria need to be, then send it back to the lower court with the order to consider the arguments a certain way. This is the procedural requirement to enforce the SCOTUS ruling.
