Supreme Court of the United States
Allen v. Caster
May 11, 2026
Summary
Justice Sotomayor, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, dissents from the Court's order vacating the district court's injunction against Alabama's 2023 redistricting plan and remanding the case. She argues that the district court's finding of intentional racial discrimination under the Fourteenth Amendment should stand, that vacatur is an inappropriate equitable remedy given the imminent election, and that the new Voting Rights Act standard in Callais does not affect the Fourteenth Amendment analysis.
