3. The rule in question does triage on detainees.

Only a subset, presumably smallish, is subject to detention and deportation. The rest would be released.

The court found that the statute passed by the legislation does not grant this broad discretion and that the decision to delimit the legislatures' statute ahead of time is arbitrary and unfounded. The executive branch enforces the statutes. (I use the plural 'legislatures' to emphasize House and Senate.)

The summary isn't that bad.

Note that "prosecutorial discretion" is a Jean Valjean sort of thing, or had been for generations.
