Judge rules Trump unlawfully terminated legal status of migrants who used US entry app

A federal judge ruled that the Department of Homeland Security exceeded its legal authority by canceling the immigration status of approximately 900,000 migrants who entered the United States through the CBP One mobile application under a Biden administration program. The program had granted these individuals two-year parole status and work authorization, but the Trump administration terminated it last year and sent emails directing participants to leave the country or face deportation. Judge Allison Skye Borroughs determined that the terminations violated statutory authority and the agency's own regulations, restoring status to those who received cancellation notifications.
