The U.S. Supreme Court on Dec. 19 allowed a lawsuit brought by immigration judges challenging a Biden-era policy that prevents them from speaking publicly about their jobs to move forward in the lower courts.

On Dec. 5, Chief Justice John Roberts had issued an administrative stay, which prevented a ruling against the federal government by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from taking effect as scheduled on Dec. 10. An administrative stay gives the justices more time to consider the application.
