Thanks for flagging this opinion — I think it’s flown a bit under the radar in light of other immigration litigation. ACLU-OK has a similar case out of the Tenth w pseudonymous plaintiffs & two orgs (https://www.aclu.org/cases/padres-unidos-de-tulsa-v-drummond) Based on the OAs, it seems like the Tenth will affirm the lower court’s PI. But the standing issue in particular has me queasy in light of the current makeup of SCOTUS.

I'm proud to add that local counsel in the Oklahoma case, Lorena Rivas, was a student in the very first Immigration Law class I ever taught! She was a fantastic student then and an inspirational lawyer and leader now.

Small world! Yes, Lorena is nothing short of a rockstar. I’ve had the pleasure of serving as her co-counsel on this case and I also presented alongside her at a rally a couple of months ago and am amazed by the work she’s doing.
