WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Tuesday ruled that a COVID-19-era order used to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants to Mexico was unlawful, a ruling that could have major implications for U.S. border management.
In a 49-page opinion, U.S. District Court Judge Emmit Sullivan said the policy was “arbitrary and capricious” and violated federal regulatory law.
