A federal judge on Saturday swatted down the Trump administration, blocking its plan to strip thousands of immigrants of their legal status.
Politico this weekend published an article called, “Judge blocks Trump administration from revoking immigration parole,” in which the outlet reported that the court had granted a “two-week reprieve for more than 10,000 immigrants set to lose legal status next week.”
“A federal judge has frozen a Trump administration plan to strip more than 10,000 immigrants of their legal status next week,” Politico reported, noting that “U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a temporary restraining order Saturday that extends the ‘family reunification parole’ status of immigrants who were set to see it expire on Wednesday as part of the administration’s broad crackdown on immigration.”
The report continues:
“Talwani, an Obama appointee based in Boston, said immigration officials failed to properly notify those who might lose their legal authorization to remain in the United States, despite a requirement that they receive direct notification. Publishing the decision on Dec. 15 in the Federal Register — a government database — did not satisfy the requirement, Talwani ruled.”
This is yet another judicial smackdown for the Trump administration, including on immigration and other key issues.
