After the pardon mooted Genalo v. Black, Solicitor General Sauer says the Trump administration will seek an "alternative vehicle" to challenge the Second Circuit's bond-hearing ruling; Iowa's solicitor general calls the pardon "pretty wild," and Hochul's office had not commented as of Sept. 12

Follow-on to the Sept. 11 dismissal. Fox News reports Solicitor General John Sauer agreed the case is moot but said the administration will look for another case to bring the same question (whether prolonged immigration detention triggers a constitutional right to a bond hearing) back to the Supreme Court. Criticism quoted is from Iowa Solicitor General Eric Wessan on X; no Blakeman statement was found in any outlet. Fox said it had asked Hochul's office for comment and had no reply. Reader note: Fox's framing ("torpedos") is the outlet's; the underlying facts match SCOTUSblog's Sept. 11 report.
