The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in blocking a free speech lawsuit involving federal immigration judges. The conservative-majority justices overturned a lower court ruling that had allowed the challenge to proceed. In 2020, a group of immigration judges filed the lawsuit over a federal government rule that limits their ability to speak out on public policy. The National Association of Immigration Judges said in a statement, “Justice cannot endure when judges are intimidated into silence, nor can a nation remain free when the rule of law is subordinate to the whims of political ambition.”
