In yet another stunning decision, a radical activist judge has ruled that President Donald Trump does not have the authority to end the legal status of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that President Joe Biden allowed to waltz through the border.
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, who was appointed to her position by President Barack Obama, decided that Trump was unable to reverse a Biden-era policy that allowed prospective migrants to enter the U.S. by filling out information on a phone application.
In Boston, Judge Burroughs rules that Trump unlawfully terminated the legal status of tens of thousands of migrants who had been allowed to temporarily live and work in the US if they announced their presence using an app introduced by Biden. @ZJMontague https://t.co/5scyQoXE1u https://t.co/G6we8M03G2

"Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect our national security," the DHS spokesperson said, according to Reuters.
This was the third decision striking down an initiative by the Trump administration on Tuesday.
