Emergency application
Temporary permits for families
Markwayne Mullin, Secretary, Department of Homeland Security v. Dahlia Doe
What did the Court do?
The Court dismissed the request as moot (no longer a live dispute) on June 30, 2026.
Emergency rulings are temporary and do not decide the underlying case.
What's being asked
The federal government asked the Supreme Court to pause a New York federal court order postponing agency action. The government sought the pause while its appeal continued. Dahlia Doe and other individuals brought the case, but the record does not identify the agency action at issue.
What the Court did
The Court gave no ruling on the requested pause. It closed the application as moot (no longer a live dispute). The Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
The requested pause was temporary, and the Court’s closure did not decide who wins the underlying dispute. The Court had separately agreed to hear related cases, including No. 25-1083, and scheduled argument for April 2026. The record gives no later update on the Second Circuit appeal.
