Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, ruled that the Biden administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act when it ended the policy, and he ordered its revival. The Biden administration in turn filed a petition to the Supreme Court last week, arguing that bringing the policy back "would result in irreparable harm."
