💨 Abstract

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's expansion of fast-track deportations for immigrants who entered the U.S. under humanitarian parole. The ruling suspends DHS actions that expand "expedited removal" for such immigrants until the case concludes. The judge emphasized the fairness for people fleeing oppression and noted that current actions violate statutory law. The ruling is seen as a significant win for immigrant advocacy groups, as many fear arrest during routine immigration hearings.
