Judge had previously blocked move to end temporary legal status for those who entered US via Biden-era application.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Published On 24 Apr 2026<\/span>24 Apr 2026<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The administration of President Donald Trump plans to again end the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of people who applied for asylum in the United States via the CBP One app.<\/p>\n The plan was detailed in a court filing in Boston, Massachusetts, and comes after a judge ruled that Trump\u2019s earlier effort to terminate the legal status of those individuals was unlawful.<\/p>\n list of 3 items<\/span>end of list<\/span><\/section>\n Under US President Joe Biden, individuals who registered for an appointment with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) were preliminarily vetted and granted temporary legal status in the US as their asylum cases were adjudicated.<\/p>\n About 900,000 people were granted so-called humanitarian parole under the programme.<\/p>\n But in April of last year, just months after Trump took office for a second term, many of those individuals received emails saying their status had been terminated.<\/p>\n The message told its recipients it was \u201ctime for you to leave the United States\u201d.<\/p>\n Federal Judge Allison Burroughs subsequently ruled that the Department of Homeland Security did not follow the proper procedures in terminating the legal status immigration status of CBP One users.<\/p>\n The US Department of Justice, in the new filings, told Burroughs that the Trump administration was complying with \u2060her order.<\/p>\n However, the department said the administration would begin issuing new parole termination notices, pursuant to a Tuesday memo from CBP\u2019s head, Rodney Scott.<\/p>\n The memo is not public, but according to the Justice Department, Scott provided \u200can explanation for why, in his opinion, \u201cparole is no longer appropriate for those aliens\u201d.<\/p>\n Lawyers for Democracy Forward and Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, which represent the individuals whose status faces termination, urged Burroughs in a subsequent filing to prevent what they called a \u201cdeliberate attempt to evade compliance with the court\u2019s order\u201d.<\/p>\n The next hearing was set for May 6.<\/p>\n During his second term, Trump has pursued a hardline immigration policy that has included staunching nearly all asylum claims at the southern border.<\/p>\n Shortly after taking office, Trump\u2019s officials also dissolved the CBP One app and relaunched it as CBP Home, a tool for self-deportation.<\/p>\n His administration has claimed there was an \u201cinvasion\u201d at the border that constituted a \u201cnational emergency\u201d, thereby allowing Trump to bypass legal requirements to allow individuals seeking asylum into the country.<\/p>\n Asylum, however, is a right enshrined both in domestic and international law, to protect people fleeing persecution on the basis of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.<\/p>\n Separately, on Friday, a federal appeals court ruled against the Trump administration\u2019s ban on asylum at the southern US border, potentially clearing the way for applications to once again be processed.<\/p>\n The administration is expected to appeal the decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Judge had previously blocked move to end temporary legal status for those who entered US via Biden-era application.
