Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor — and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it. [17]

Young's decision concluded:

[T]his Court finds as fact and concludes as matter of law that Secretaries Kristy Noem and Rubio and their several agents and subordinates acted in concert to misuse the sweeping powers of their respective offices to target noncitizen pro-Palestinians for deportation primarily on account of their First Amendment protected political speech. They did so in order to strike fear into similarly situated non-citizen pro-Palestinian individuals, pro-actively (and effectively) curbing lawful pro-Palestinian speech and intentionally denying such individuals (including the plaintiffs here) the freedom of speech that is their right. Moreover, the effect of these targeted deportation proceedings continues unconstitutionally to chill freedom of speech to this day. [18]

American Public Health Association v. National Institutes of Health

In American Public Health Association v. National Institutes of Health, United States Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh accused Young of defying its shadow docket orders. Following these accusations, former Justice Stephen Breyer defended Young and Young apologized. [19] [20] [21]
