Garland v. Gonzalez
Holding
8 U.S.C. § 1252(f)(1), which generally strips lower courts of "jurisdiction or authority" to "enjoin or restrain the operation of" certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act, deprived the district courts of jurisdiction in these cases to entertain respondents' requests for class-wide injunctive relief.
