At some point the judiciary should get tired of being abused by these nimrods.How do you “block” the executive branch’s *discretionary* decision to pause certain removal proceedings? It’s not like a court could order the Biden Administration to carry out removals of specific individuals. (This is just one part of why this whole lawsuit is ... a stretch.) https://t.co/iLr0jGLErE
