The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked a federal appeals court ruling on Dec. 5 in a lawsuit in which immigration judges are challenging a policy that prevents them from speaking publicly about their jobs.
The issue before the high court is whether the lawsuit should be heard by the courts or by a civil service agency that reviews claims made by federal workers. The Supreme Court has halted for the time being an appeals court ruling directing a lower court to reconsider its dismissal of the lawsuit.
