"US Immigration Court Blocks Deportation of Thousands Amid Lawsuit. In a significant move, a US immigration court has issued a temporary order that prevents thousands of individuals from El Salvador, Sudan, and Ukraine from losing their work authorization while a lawsuit challenging a Trump-era policy is pending. The policy in question, which was implemented in 2018, allowed the government to deny work permits to immigrants who are awaiting their asylum hearings. The lawsuit, brought by a coalition of advocacy groups, argues that this policy is unconstitutional and unfairly punishes vulnerable individuals who are seeking protection in the US. The court's order is a temporary reprieve for the thousands of individuals who could have been forced to leave the country or lose their ability to work if the policy had been allowed to stand."
The order prevents thousands from El Salvador, Sudan and Ukraine from losing work authorisation while lawsuit proceeds.
