Court: United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Filed: 2026-06-23

The First Circuit granted an administrative stay of paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 of the District Court’s preliminary injunction entered on June 12, 2026. The court based this decision on its review of the Defendants-Appellants’ Emergency Motion for an Administrative Stay, noting that the stay preserves the District Court’s existing stay of the Secretary’s Order pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 705. While granting the administrative stay, the court explicitly reserved ruling on the request for a stay pending appeal, stating it intends to address that specific motion promptly.
