Judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from speeding up refugee status revocations
The order keeps the current 30-day deadline in place while a lawsuit challenges broader Trump administration refugee policies, lawyers said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Julia Kobick in Boston temporarily blocked a Trump administration rule that would cut the time refugees have to contest status revocation from 30 days to 10 days.
- Issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on October 14, the policy aimed to accelerate revocation procedures, with officials claiming it strengthens accountability after alleged screening failures under the Biden Administration.
- International Institute of New England President and CEO Jeff Thielman filed the class action lawsuit on Monday, noting the regulation could affect approximately 550 refugees admitted to New Hampshire during the previous administration.
- Kobick issued the order to preserve the status quo until the case is heard, with the injunction remaining in effect through November 6 to provide immediate relief for affected families.
- Advocacy groups are also challenging broader policies, including halted green card processing and mandatory re-interviews for previously vetted refugees, which the Department of Homeland Security maintains enforce laws as intended by Congress.
