A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s effort to expand use of a process that fast-tracks undocumented immigrants for deportation without the involvement of immigration courts.
In a 126-page ruling issued just before midnight Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson halted the policy shift, declaring that the Trump administration’s decision-making process leading to the change appeared to have violated federal law. She said the decision seemed arbitrary and faulted officials for failing to carry out a formal notice-and-comment practice required for major changes to federal rules.
“There is no evident consideration of the considerable downsides of adopting a policy that, in many respects, could significantly impact people’s everyday lives in many substantial, tangible, and foreseeable ways,” the judge wrote. “An agency cannot consider only the perceived shiny bright spots of a policy that it is mulling—the silver lining, if you will.”
“The potential benevolence of individual line-agents is cold comfort from the standpoint of those persons who are located far from the border and are now in the agency’s crosshairs, when, prior to the New Designation, they were not,” Jackson wrote. “Additionally, it reeks of bad faith, demonstrates contempt for the authority that the Constitution’s Framers have vested in the judicial branch, and, ultimately, deprives successful plaintiffs of the full measure of the remedy to which they are entitled,” she added.
