They wanted to clarify whether GEO can appeal directly to the Circuit before a judgement has been rendered by the lower courts. SCOTUS said no, lower courts have to issue a final judgement before higher courts have jurisdiction.

Hmm thanks, but still wonder why SCOTUS took the case in the first place. Also wonder whether the ruling will apply to Trump since ICE etc. have been ignoring orders from lower courts while appeals are in progress.
According to the cert grant it's a pretty well established circuit split:
It only takes 4 justices for the court to grant cert on a case, so it's possible most of the court would prefer not to hear the case at all and leave the circuits split. I can't find which justices voted to grant, I'm not even sure if it's public information.

EDIT: as to it's impact on ICE: It's overturning precedent in a few Circuits regarding so-called "derivative soveriegn immunity" for contractors who work with government agencies, so it will probably have impacts for ICE in some parts of the country. I think it mostly means that more cases will have to churn through the lower courts before higher courts can review them, which may mean more splashy "ICE dunked on by liberal judge" headlines. I think it also means that higher courts will have to review the cases on the merits, rather than just dismissing them as unreviewable due to DSI. How many cases that applies to and what the actual implications are, IDK IANAL.
Ah thanks, I had no idea that there was a circuit split or that "derivative sovereign immunity" wasn't something pulled out of the company's butt just for the case at hand.
No sweat, I just learned that myself because of your question.
