Filed Order for PUBLICATION (A. WALLACE TASHIMA, MILAN D. SMITH, JR. and MARK J. BENNETT) (TASHIMA, Circuit Judge, concurring in part and dissenting in part) Appellants seek a stay pending appeal of the district courtâ??s July 24, 2019 order preliminarily enjoining the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Securityâ??s joint interim final rule, â??Asylum Eligibility and Procedural Modificationsâ?? (the â??Ruleâ??), 84 Fed. Reg. 33,829 (July 16, 2019). The district court found that the Rule likely did not comply with the Administrative Procedure Actâ??s (APA) notice-and-comment and 30-day grace period requirements because Appellants did not adequately support invocation of the â??good causeâ?? and â??foreign affairsâ?? exemptions under the APA. See 5 U.S.C. § 553(a)(1), (b)(1)(B), (d)(3); Buschmann v. Schweiker, 676 F.2d 352, 357 (9th Cir. 1982) (good cause exemption â??should be interpreted narrowly so that the exception will not swallow the ruleâ?? (internal citations omitted)); Yassini v. Crosland, 618 F.2d 1356, 1360 n.4 (9th Cir. 1980) (foreign affairs exemption â??would become distendedâ?? if applied to immigration rules generally and requires showing that ordinary public noticing would â??provoke definitely undesirable international consequencesâ??). We conclude that Appellants have not made the required â??strong showingâ?? that they are likely to succeed on the merits on this issue. Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987). Consequently, we deny the motion for stay pending appeal (Docket Entry No. [11385529-2]) insofar as the injunction applies within the Ninth Circuit. We grant the motion for stay pending appeal insofar as the injunction applies outside the Ninth Circuit, because the nationwide scope of the injunction is not supported by the record as it stands. Cf. City and County of San Francisco v. Trump, 897 F.3d 1225, 1243â??45 (9th Cir. 2018). [SEE ORDER FOR FULL TEXT] While this appeal proceeds, the district court retains jurisdiction to further develop the record in support of a preliminary injunction extending beyond the Ninth Circuit. Cf. Trump, 897 F.3d at 1245 (â??Because the record is insufficiently developed as to the question of the national scope of the injunction, we vacate the injunction to the extent that it applies outside California and remand to the district court for a more searching inquiry into whether this case justifies the breadth of the injunction imposed.â??). The opening brief is due September 3, 2019; the answering brief is due October 1, 2019; and the optional reply is due within 21 days after service of the answering brief. This case will be placed on a December 2019 argument calendar. The State of Arizonaâ??s amicus brief in support of Appellantsâ?? motion has been filed. The Professors of Immigration Lawâ??s motion for leave to file an amicus brief in opposition to Appellantsâ?? motion (Docket Entry No. [11389599-2]) is granted, and the brief is filed.
