Good! He’s going to force the Supreme Court to eventually explain itself.

BREAKING: In a new case, Judge Randolph Moss issued an administrative stay this morning blocking the Trump admin from "moving, transferring, or removing from U.S. custody" the eight men the U.S. wants to send to South Sudan while the stay remains in effect. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com
MINUTE ORDER: In light of Plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order, Dkt. 2, the Court hereby ENTERS and administrative STAY pending further order of the Court to allow the government to gather the information it needs to respond to Plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order and to provide time for a hearing on that emergency motion. See United States v.
Texas, 144 S. Ct. 797, 798 (Barrett, J., concurring) {describing administrative stays as "freez[ing] legal proceedings until the court can rule on a partys request for expedited relief"}. Defendants are ENJOINED from moving, transferring, or removing from U.S. custody any Plaintiffs while the Court's administrative stay remains in effect. It is further ORDERED that the parties shall appear for a Zoom conference on July 4, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. Plaintiffs are hereby ORDERED to ensure that Defendants receive actual notice of this order. Signed by Judge Randolph D. Moss on 7/4/2025. (lerdm3) (Entered: 07/04/2025)

BREAKING: A DOJ lawyer told Moss at a Friday hearing that a flight is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET today to take the men to South Sudan. The DOJ lawyer also said that an effort to seek relief from the DC Circuit and SCOTUS today is possible if Moss keeps the stay in place—and, hence, the flight blocked.
