Immigration Showdown: Justice Thomas Rejects Florida (32399) AG’s Emergency Request – COURT SAYS NO TO STATE INTERVENTION
Tallahassee, FL (32399) – In a major legal setback for Florida, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has flatly denied an emergency request from Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to challenge federal immigration enforcement. The high-profile case, tied to Florida’s ongoing efforts to enforce its own immigration rules, was tossed without comment. The decision reinforces the federal government’s exclusive control over immigration. Legal analysts say the ruling could weaken similar state-led efforts across the country. Protests quickly formed near the state Capitol in Tallahassee following the announcement. Officials now urge residents and law enforcement to follow federal immigration protocols as the legal path narrows.
