Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Policy Stripping Thousands of Immigrants' Work Permits A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration policy that would have stripped tens of thousands of asylum seekers and immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of their work permits.
The ruling is a significant blow to the administration's hardline immigration policies.
The contested policy, enacted as part of the 2025 tax and spending law championed by Trump and passed by the Republican led Congress, imposes fees on asylum applications and restricts employment authorization for TPS holders.
