The #DOJ has argued that #Trump's order conforms with the #Constitution & has asked Laplante to find that the plaintiffs cannot sue as a #class.
#SCOTUS’ ruling did not address the legal merits of Trump's order, which the Republican president issued as part of his hardline #immigration agenda on his first day back in office in January.
Judge Laplante agreed the plaintiffs could proceed as a #class, allowing him to issue a fresh judicial order blocking implementation of #Trump's policy nationally.
The question of whether to issue an #injunction was "not a close call," he said, noting #children could be deprived of #US #citizenship if Trump's order took effect.
"That’s irreparable harm, citizenship alone," he said. "It is the greatest privilege that exists in the world.”

The process to certify a class can often take months. A snr White House ofcl told Reuters the #Trump admin will be watching #class certification decisions closely & plans to aggressively challenge them to prevent “abuse”of the process.
The govt says the named class plaintiffs in the New Hampshire case are too different from one another to be able to proceed as a #ClassAction. They include an #asylum seeker & someone on a #StudentVisa.
#ClassActions must follow what is known as #Rule23, which requires the plaintiffs to meet several elements including proving that the proposed #class members suffered the same #injury. Conservative #SCOTUS Justice Samuel #Alito warned lower courts against certifying nationwide classes without "scrupulous adherence to the rigors of Rule 23.”
On July 2, US District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington determined that #Trump's denial of #asylum to migrants on the southern #border exceeded the president's #authority.
He then certified a #class that covered all individuals subject to the presidential proclamation on asylum & issued an injunction to protect the class -- effectively a nationwide injunction.
The plaintiffs are asking US District Judge Joseph Laplante, who previously issued a more narrow #injunction blocking #Trump's EO, to go further this time by allowing the plaintiffs to sue as a #nationwide #class & issuing an order blocking Trump's ban from being enforced against members of the class.
At least one other #judge has already followed this formula.

ICYMI: As you will have spotted class pops up in my posts quite a lot, so despite the data from the latest British Social Attitudes survey suggesting its declining as an influence on political behaviour, I've set out for @NWBylines why I think we are (actually) set for a revival of class (specifically working class) politics in the UK.

New study
In "Payment problems through a social class lens" Ida Drange and Nan Zou Bakkeli take a Bourdieusian approach to studying the risks associated with debt. Leveraging longitudinal register data they show that payment problems are more common among those in the lower classes and in the economic middle classes.

While people's live are patterned by their (lack of) wealth & their need to work to live, we have a political economy built on the foundations of class.
When people talk of post-class politics, or the irrelevance of class in the face of other identities, they are (themselves) helping (re)produce the political economy of class that thrives in the shadows.
The cleverest trick those advantaged by class polities have pulled off is to get people to deny the importance of class!
As Louise Ashley (QMUL) points out,
it is 'quite hard for organisations to credibly claim commitment to mobility & equality when, for example, internal pay ratios between the highest & lowest earners remain fairly extreme'!
This is because issues of class have been excluded from discussion of equality & diversity programmes, and remain core to the structures of pay in large organisations.
Class, as we know is now often regarded as a non-issue; it isn't, however much some hope!
