Case: Kristi Noem, Secretary, Department of Homeland Security, et al. v. Dahlia Doe, et al., No. 25A952
Lower Court: Second Circuit
Docketed: 2026-02-26
Status: Application
Question Presented: Question not identified.
On February 26, 2026, the government submitted an emergency application to Justice Sotomayor seeking a stay pending appeal in Noem v. Dahlia Doe. Justice Sotomayor promptly requested a response from the respondents, due by 4:00 p.m. on March 5, 2026. The application was filed by attorney D. John Sauer on behalf of the petitioners. The full docket is available at the Supreme Court's docket page.
The question presented has not yet been identified in the docket. Observers should watch whether Justice Sotomayor acts alone or refers the application to the full Court, which would itself signal how seriously the justices view the underlying legal dispute.
