Here is @dominicholden's story on the initial 7th Circuit 3-judge panel ruling — https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/sanctuary-cities-case-justice-department?utm_term=.grb7O6wxb#.pgdrOP39Y … — which the full 7th Circuit agreed to reconsider, but only as to the nationwide scope of the injunction.
The 7th Circuit has refused to issue a stay of the nationwide injunction while it considers that issue in the rehearing, as requested by Sessions, which led Sessions to take the stay request to SCOTUS today.pic.twitter.com/z2YcxnqIBZ
(In a "technicality that might matter" issue, note that the 7th Circuit did not deny the stay request, it denied the request to consider the stay request.)
UPDATE: Justice Kagan has called for a response to DOJ's request for a stay of the nationwide injunction pending appeal in the sanctuary cities funding case, due by 5p Wednesday, June 27. #SCOTUS
