				They're about to hit grape-picking season in Napa. Last year, they were having to pay $20/hour before there weren't enough workers. Most of work is done by seasonal immigrant labor.There are report of Texas farms just simply shutting down this week.
Animals left untended. Crops untended.
This is one of the most confounding SCOTUS actions in history. Basically, "Yeah, we'll allow the US government to kidnap people from US soil to a foreign country, while we justices figure out where we put that copy of the US Constitution... it's got to be in a drawer around here somewhere."Very bad news indeed. The detainee shell game. Although the ruling is only temporary until the case in question can be fully argued later this year, the effect on deportees is sinister.

The detainee shell game.
The Chaos and Cruelty of DVD v. DHS (Lawfare Quinta Jurecic; June 23, 2025)
Editor's note: This piece was published before the Supreme Court granted the government's application to stay a district court order preventing immigrants from being deported to third-party countries on June 23.
By rewarding lawlessness, the [US Supreme] Court once again undermines that foundational [principle that ours is a government of laws, not of men, and that we submit ourselves to rulers only if under rules]. Apparently, the Court finds the idea that thousands will suffer violence in far-flung locales more palatable than the remote possibility that a District Court exceeded its remedial powers when it ordered the Government to provide notice and process to which the plaintiffs are constitutionally and statutorily entitled. That use of discretion is as incomprehensible as it is inexcusable.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting.

I didn't get that, and I am not a member. Maybe it gives you one freebie. I haven't been on Vox's site in ages.

				Despite promise to remove 'worst of the worst,' ICE has arrested only 6% of known immigrant murderers
ICE told Congress in September that over 13,000 immigrants known to have committed murder remained at large. Since then, only 752 have been arrested.
The data is a tally of every person booked by ICE during fiscal year 2025 so far, including during the Biden administration, running from Oct. 1 through May 31. It shows a total of 185,042 people arrested and booked into ICE facilities during that time; 65,041 of them have been convicted of crimes. The most common categories of crimes they committed were immigration and traffic offenses...
Last fall, ICE told Congress that 13,099 people convicted of homicide and 15,811 people convicted of sexual assault were on its non-detained docket, meaning it knew who they were but did not have them in custody. A spokesperson said at the time that ICE had some information about but did not know the exact whereabouts of all the immigrants on the non-detained docket and that some could have left the United States or could be in prison.
This is likely another autocratic ploy. It used to be that the Trump cult would believe everything that Trump says but the rest of us, on Earth 1, would say, "That's a lie".As usual Trump is lying. It is a wildly imperfect and enabling ruling, demonstrating that for the entire history of the US, the SC has apparently allowed injunctions to stand until this President and this issue. No wonder people are losing the last shreds of faith in this highly over-politicized and corrupt court.
The only comfort I take is that it may be held to equally restrain Trump flacks from being pulled in to issue nation wide injunctions for things they don't like...like restricting Plan B meds, etc.
IT LEAVES THE INJUNCTIONS OF THE BIRTHRIGHT EO IN PLACE, just narrows them to the plaintiffs. And it does not limit nationwide class actions, which will be filed to achieve the identical outcomes. The EO remains unconstitutional.
