Judge: Trump Illegally Targeted 900K Immigrants
U.S. District Court Judge Allison Burroughs Tuesday ruled that the Trump administration’s decision to end the legal status of almost a million immigrants last year was "illegal.”
Hundreds of thousands of people, including Cubans, entered the U.S. legally under the Biden administration’s CBP One online application system, which gave immigrants appointments at the border following a stay in Mexico.
Last year, the Trump administration revoked their status via an email, demanding they leave the country immediately.
Under Trump, Cubans have lost many of the immigration privileges they historically enjoyed. Almost 2,000 Cubans, including many who arrived in the U.S. via CBP One, have been deported to the island since last year.
