The Supreme Court has declined to restore a Biden-era policy that allowed immigration judges to close deportation cases for a time, according to ABC News. The report says the justices left in place the freeze on the policy rather than lifting it.

ABC News described the policy as one that allowed immigration judges to "temporarily close deportation cases for immigrants." Its summary presents the court's action as a refusal to unfreeze the policy, and it does not describe any other change to the policy's status.

The summary does not say when the policy was frozen, which officials or parties were involved, or what the justices said in declining the request. It also does not indicate whether the decision was unanimous or whether any justice dissented, so those details cannot be reported from this source.

Because the ABC News report is the only source available for this story, the account above rests on its headline and summary alone. Readers seeking the court's reasoning, the arguments presented, or the effect on pending cases will need the full report or the court's own filings, which were not part of the material reviewed here.
