What cases are left on the Supreme Court’s emergency docket? Here’s a look

By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON AP The sequence of events is familiar A lower court judge blocks a part of President Donald Trump s agenda an appellate panel refuses to put the order on hold while the scenario continues and the Justice Department turns to the Supreme Court Trump administration lawyers have filed exigency appeals with the nation s highest court a little less than once a week on average since Trump began his second term The court is not being sought to render a final decision but rather to set the rules of the road while the episode makes it way through the courts The justices have issued orders in cases so far and the Trump administration has won more than it has lost Among the administration s victories was an order allowing it to enforce the Republican president s ban of on transgender military facility members Among its losses was a prohibition on using an th century wartime law called the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans alleged to be gang members to a notorious prison in El Salvador The largest part new crisis filing arrived May A judge rebuked the administration over deportations to South Sudan The Trump administration s latest appeal asks the high court to halt an order by U S District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston The White House violated his earlier order Murphy detected with a deportation flight bound for the African nation carrying people from other countries who had been convicted of crimes in the U S Those immigrants must get a real chance to raise any fears that being sent there could put them in danger Murphy wrote Trump s top Supreme Court lawyer Solicitor General D John Sauer inquired for an immediate high court order that would allow the third-country deportations to resume Murphy has stalled efforts to carry out deportations of settlers who can t be returned to their home countries Sauer wrote Finding countries willing to take them is a delicate diplomatic endeavor and the court requirements are a major setback he noted Lawyers for the deported men have until Wednesday to respond A watchdog group is trying to bring transparency to DOGE The Department of Executive Efficiency overseen by billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk until his departure on Friday is resisting a lawsuit calling for it to publicly disclose information about its operations Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington argues in a lawsuit that DOGE which has been central to Trump s push to remake the authorities is a federal agency and must be subject to the Freedom of Information Act CREW insists that DOGE wields shockingly broad power with no transparency about its actions The administration says DOGE is just a presidential advisory body that is exempt from FOIA disclosures U S District Judge Christopher Cooper had uncovered that its role is likely more than just advisory especially in helping to shutter the U S Agency for International Advancement and cut billions of dollars in ruling body contracts The administration appealed Cooper s orders requiring documents be turned over and acting Administrator Amy Gleason to answer questions under oath Last week Chief Justice John Roberts agreed to temporarily pause the orders pending additional word from the Supreme Court A judge blocked DOGE s access to Social Precaution systems over privacy concerns Social Precaution has personal information on nearly everyone in the country including school records bank details salary information and physiological and mental physical condition records for disability recipients according to court documents The Trump administration says DOGE requirements access to Social Safety s systems as part of its mission to target waste in the federal regime But U S District Judge Ellen Hollander in Maryland restricted the squad s access to Social Safeguard under federal privacy laws saying DOGE s efforts at the agency amounted to a fishing expedition based on little more than suspicion of fraud The judge is disrupting DOGE s work and interfering with decisions that belong to the executive branch not courts Sauer wrote in asking the high court to block Hollander s order in the suit filed by labor unions and retirees The justices could act anytime Trump wants to change citizenship rules in place for more than years Several judges expeditiously blocked an executive order Trump signed his first day in office that would deny citizenship to children who are born to people who are in the country illegally or temporarily Related Articles What we know about the suspect and casualties in the

History June priceless recordings destroyed in Universal Studios fire In current times in History May the Tulsa Race Massacre begins The administration appealed three court orders that prohibit the changes from taking effect anywhere in the country Earlier in May the justices took the rare step of hearing arguments in an urgency appeal It s unclear how the event will come out but the court seemed intent on keeping the changes on hold while looking for a way to scale back nationwide court orders One possibility advanced by particular justices was to find a different legal mechanism perhaps a class action to accomplish essentially the same thing as the nationwide injunctions blocking Trump s citizenship order Nationwide injunctions have emerged as an significant check on Trump s efforts to remake the authorities and a source of mounting frustration to the Republican president and his allies Judges have issued nationwide injunctions since Trump began his second term in January Sauer recounted the court during the arguments The court could act anytime but almost certainly no later than early summer
