Why This Score
This event reflects courts checking executive overreach on migrant detention policy—an example of separation of powers functioning as designed, which caps its constitutional damage score since the harm was judicially contained same-day. Coverage is substantive (legal/procedural) rather than spectacle-driven, yielding low hype/distraction scores; overall this is a routine judicial check with modest governance significance rather than a major structural event.
