Earlier this week, New York District Court Judge Katherine B. Forrest made some clarifying remarks on an injunction she made in May, saying that her ruling of indefinite detention of Americans under terrorist suspicion as unconstitutional applied to everyone, not just the plaintiffs involved.

“Put more bluntly, the May 16 order enjoined enforcement of Section 1021(b)(2) against anyone until further action by this, or a higher, court — or by Congress,” she wrote in her memorandum opinion and order. “This order should eliminate any doubt as to the May 16 order’s scope.”
