Biden-backed Plan to Repatriate Hundreds of Illegal Alien Children Blocked by Federal Judge
Biden-appointed federal judge halts a Trump-era plan to repatriate hundreds of minor undocumented immigrants before Labor Day weekend. The move came after advocacy groups sued the administration over the surprise deportation plans.
A Biden-appointed federal judge has halted a plan by the Trump administration to repatriate hundreds of undocumented minor aliens over the Labor Day weekend after advocacy groups sued the government in an effort to prevent it from carrying out the flights. The lawsuit argued that the plan was 'surprising' and did not provide adequate notice or due process for the minors, who are typically allowed to stay in the US if they meet certain requirements. The judge's decision temporarily blocks the flights, which were set to depart on August 31st. The advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), had requested a temporary restraining order after learning of the plan.
