        Hearings this morning in Mass. and Virginia. In MA, question is on extending the TRO. Note: Massachusetts has been granted intervention.

        In VA, it's on both parties' request to hold case in abeyance. Also due to consider Virginia's motion to intervene & its contempt motion.

        Of course, the White House said earlier this week that they had "clarified" that the EO didn't apply to LPRs, so, was this order pointless?

        Not necessarily! This is a permanent injunction, effectively making the White House counsel's memo as to LPRs, permanent.pic.twitter.com/PmcwQyoU5g

        If this stands, then the WH would be unable to later reverse the McGahn memo and say that LPRs ~are~ covered. A small point, but notable.

        Also: State is standing strong on its 60,000 number, and the fact that these are provisional visa revocations, that can be restored later.
