The Trump administration can keep sending asylum seekers back to Mexico after an appeals court temporarily reversed a ruling that halted the policy. The decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals came Friday as the asylum policy was set to end on Monday night.

Frankly, knowing the Ninth as well as I do, I was shocked that a three Judge panel agreed to temporarily remove the injunction that Judge Seeborg predictably issued halting the return policy.

The respondents have until Tuesday night to file papers arguing that the injunction should be restored, since the standard on appeal here is “de novo” (which means that the Appellate Court sits in lieu of the lower court) these types of orders usually foreshadow the Court’s initial thinking.
