The international law requires that when a refugee is already in your borders, you cannot return them back to the country where they face persecution. And you have to give them basic due process in order to make their claim that they will be persecuted if they go back home.

Okay, so we can close the border and dispo anyone already inside the country.

You have every right to refuse them entry. But if they're already in your country, you can't deport them without at least giving them a hearing.

Okay. So then 0 encounters per day at the border should be back on the table - no trigger.

Because that happens in a bunch of federal statutes - jurisdiction to challenge rulemaking and other matters gets funneled to the DC Circuit, because that's where all the federal agencies are. The same reason why whenever I sue a state agency here in Florida, I have to file in the district court that includes Tallahassee instead of down here in Miami.

Okay. So here's the other perspective: judges in Texas and Florida are likely more disposed towards enforcement.

Not everything is brand new to the world and deliberately crafted for some nefarious purpose

Other side's perspective time. Why do you think I would say that? Have the democrats been good actors on legislation in the past?
