ABC: Administration must restore legal status for thousands of immigrants, judge rules

https://abcnews.com/US/administration-restore-legal-status-thousands-immigrants-judge-rules/story?id=131592574

The ruling covers immigrants who came to the U.S. through a Biden-era pathway.

The Trump administration must restore the legal status of potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the United States legally through a Biden-era pathway, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs said the Department of Homeland Security acted unlawfully last year when it sent a notice telling many of the over 900,000 immigrants who used the CBP One app: "It is time for you to leave the United States."

During the Biden administration, nearly over 900,000 immigrants used the app to make appointments with immigration officials at ports of entry in hope of later applying for humanitarian parole or other forms of immigration relief that would allow them to enter the country. Those who were granted parole were allowed to temporarily receive work authorization while their cases were adjudicated.

But in one of his first acts as president, President Donald Trump terminated that function of the CBP app, and DHS later sent notices to those who used it, telling them the government was exercising its right to end their legal status. Within hours of Trump taking office, countless applicants waiting at the border were told their appointments had been canceled.


I only hope they aren't already in custody or lost.

The Real World damage is more than a little obvious.
How long before he ends more Human lives than abortion ever did?
They surely knew this miscreant would go balls-to-the-wall Deplorable just because he can.
Every day he does something that has to be remediated at great cost of Time and Treasure, after upending innumerable lives.
How much Time and Treasure have been devoted solely to dealing with Legal issues created by his ignorance(?) of the Constitution AND his ignorance of Ethics in his own personal life?
Nearly a million people have had their lives torn asunder for the crime of trying to have a more live-able life in Peace.
HE is responsible. And Justice would require him to restore to them their Constitutional Rights, and compensate them for the chaos he has made of their lives.
Immunity is The Mark Of Satan.
