Donald J. Trump, President of the United States v. Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot

Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, and other applicants asked the Supreme Court for a stay (a temporary pause). They sought to put a D.C. Circuit ruling on hold for now while their dispute with Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot and other respondents continued.

The Court deferred action on this stay application and a related stay application. It treated both as petitions for certiorari before judgment, granted them, consolidated the cases, set argument in April 2026, and ordered fast briefing.
