⚖ The Constitutional Angle
Yamataya v. Fisher held that any person who has entered the United States, lawfully or not, gets due process before removal: at minimum notice and a meaningful chance to be heard. Trump v. J.G.G. and A.A.R.P. v. Trump confirm that even under expedited mechanisms, detainees must get meaningful notice and a real chance to contest removal. Escalated mass deportation cannot push below that floor.

Vote: 7-2 · Opinion: Per curiam (unsigned)
The Court (having intervened by an extraordinary post-midnight order on April 19, 2025 barring removals from the Northern District of Texas) held: (1) it had jurisdiction because the district court's inaction in the face of imminent removals had the practical effect of refusing an injunction; (2) on notice, the government's practice flunked due process — 'notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster' under Trump v.
