1306
Opinion in Chambers
the granting of interim work authorizations to—at least those aliens who are deportable and who could not seek relief on their own behalf under CSS. Moreover, if the above analysis is correct, the order is not merely an erroneous adjudication of a lawsuit between private litigants, but an improper intrusion by a federal court into the workings of a coordinate branch of the Government. See Heckler v. Lopez, 463 U. S., at 1336-1337; FCC v. Pottsville Broadcasting Co., 309 U. S. 134, 141 (1940). On the other hand, neither CSS nor this stay prevents those aliens who were ordered deported or were front-desked, and are therefore possibly eligible for relief under CSS, from suing in their own right. Likewise, neither CSS nor this stay prevents any membership organizations which have members whose claims are ripe under CSS from suing on behalf of those members, assuming the organizations meet the criteria required for organizational standing.
I therefore grant the application to stay the District Court's order pending final disposition of the appeal by the Court of Appeals.
