Judge rules Trump unlawfully terminated legal status of migrants who used US entry app
BBC • • nation
Key Points:
- A federal judge ruled that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) exceeded its authority by terminating the legal status of thousands of migrants who entered the US using the CBP One app, a Biden-era program allowing parole and legal work status for two years.
- The Trump administration ended the parole program and repurposed the CBP One app for "self-deportations," sending emails to migrants instructing them to leave or face deportation.
- Judge Allison Skye Borroughs stated that the parole terminations exceeded DHS's statutory authority and violated its own regulations.
- The ruling was praised by advocacy groups representing affected migrants, who argued it protects the lawful status of hundreds of thousands of people suddenly deemed undocumented.
- The Venezuelan Association of Massachusetts and individual plaintiffs sued the Trump administration over the policy change, highlighting the severe impact on Venezuelan families who lost their legal status overnight.
