The Trump administration is moving forward with its controversial plans to end the legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants, despite a federal judge previously blocking its efforts.

Detailed in federal court filings in Boston, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was found to have acted unlawfully by ending the legal status of over 900,000 people who were allowed to live in the United States under Biden's CBP One program. Judge Allison Burroughs has scheduled a May 6 hearing to discuss prohibiting DHS from executing its plans.

While the Department of Justice asserts compliance with the court's order, it also issued new parole termination notices. Legal groups representing the affected migrants are urging judicial intervention, claiming this is an attempt to bypass court rulings.
