A U.S. judge issues a temporary order blocking the Trump administration from enforcing a policy that would strip thousands of immigrants of their work permits, according to multiple outlets. The order prevents the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) from carrying out the change while legal challenges proceed. The reports say the lawsuit is brought by rights groups and unions, who argue the policy harms affected immigrants. The temporary block applies to people covered by the policy and is described as affecting immigrants from countries including El Salvador, Sudan, and Ukraine, among others. One outlet notes that the judge’s order remains in place while the court considers whether to extend the pause beyond the temporary relief already granted. The administration is therefore unable to implement the work-permit restrictions during the pending review. The decision is framed as an initial judicial intervention that halts enforcement, with further rulings expected after the judge reviews the arguments in the case.
