3 prediction markets price this story:
- Before Aug 1, 2028 — the market puts it at 74%, closing 1 Aug 2028. The market resolves to Yes if the Supreme Court overturns the lower court's decision blocking the immigration policy. It resolves to No if the Court allows that decision to stand or does not rule on it before August 1, 2028. Readers often mistake the deadline for when the case was filed rather than when the final ruling must occur.
- Before Trump's term ends — the market puts it at 14%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to 'Yes' if the President suspends the writ of habeas corpus before January 20, 2029. It resolves to 'No' if this event does not occur by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about media bans for the triggering event, but only a suspension of habeas corpus counts.
- Deport / Deported / Deportation — resolved “No” on 11 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump uses the words "Deport," "Deported," or "Deportation" during his Midterm Rally in Syracuse, New York. The event must occur on October 9, 2026, as originally scheduled for this condition to be met. Readers often mistake the Supreme Court case headline for the trigger, but only Trump's specific speech at that rally counts.
