What do you know, she gets to pen an opinion from the winning side. I haven't read her opinion yet, but I betting she finds a way to attribute the decision to something other than reality.
Still written in crayon though

In a 2-1 decision yesterday, a panel of the DC Circuit upheld Judge Ana Reyes' order halting the president's termination of temporary protected status designation for Haitians. The opinion was authored by Florence Pan, a Biden appointee married to longtime DC activist Max Stier.… pic.twitter.com/a7Ewr8RBJy

Quote:
Stier's organization routinely fights the Trump administration (both 45 and 47) related to his efforts to reduce the federal workforce.
Just recently, his organization--Partnership for Public Service--called President Trump an "existential threat" and noted cuts to the group's budget for grants to "train" federal employees.
Is this court-sanctioned retaliation?
Judge Pan is the wife of Max Stier, incidentally. Stier, who was on the Clinton defense team during the Monica Lewinsky scandal and part of the effort to smear Brett Kavanaugh, is the head of the Partnership for Public Service, a pro-bureaucracy outfit.

Quote:
A panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals scorched a Canadian-born, Obama-appointed judge for her heavy-handed and illegal imposition of operating procedures on all federal officers operating in Illinois. The majority opinion said the order imposed by Judge Sara Ellis, "impermissibly infringes on separation of powers principles. It effectively established the district court as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago." It also hinted that her legal maneuvering was calculated to appear to dismiss an unconstitutional order while preserving the ability of future litigants to breathe new life into the suit.
...
These two decisions by Ellis meant that no one else was affected by the dismissal of the case and that the plaintiffs could sue again in the future and again be certified as a class. The intent seemed to be to allow Ellis to make the same ruling again in the future, with the same or different plaintiffs, and make the administration fight the same fight again. Perhaps several times.
Ordinarily, an appeals court would have considered the case moot as both sides wanted to end the litigation. In this case, the Seventh Circuit was suspicious.Quote:
The district court's order may also spawn adverse legal consequences. Because the district court dismissed this case without prejudiceagainst the plaintiffs' unopposed request for a dismissal with prejudiceany class members or the lead plaintiffs could refile these claims tomorrow. They could ask the district court to reinstate a near-identical preliminary in junction, adopting the facts and legal reasoning from the district court's order.
So, this case is closed, at least for now. ICE can go back to doing ICE business without worrying about Judge Ellis. Other district judges in the Seventh Circuit are on notice to follow the rules. Plus, they set a model for other courts of appeal to draw on if they are confronted with the same shenanigans.
Big (temporary) win for President Trump! Can a district judge defy the Supreme Court and forbid lawful third country deportations? The unanimous First Circuit says No, for now. Grants a temporary pause. Judge Murphy (Biden) has already been reversed by the Supreme Court twice pic.twitter.com/Lc2j6yc5QQ

I'm truly not sure what the "issue" is here.

Yes, the Trump Admin. is taking a "maximalist" position in pushing out on the boundaries of Executive Authority.
But it is being met with district judges who are FAR FAR EXCEEDING THE BOUNDARIES of Article III authority --… https://t.co/7J7zExAull

9th Cir. issues automatic "Admin Stay" in immigration cases that allows the alien to remain in US for months/years longer - contrary to Supreme Court decision in 2009.
