Judge rules DHS illegally terminated status of 900,000 migrants in CBP One program

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration violated the law by terminating the immigration status of approximately 900,000 migrants who entered through the CBP One parole program, which allowed asylum seekers to schedule vetted interviews at U.S.-Mexico border ports of entry. The administration ended the program in April 2025 and notified affected migrants via email that their status was revoked and they must leave immediately. The judge found that DHS failed to follow required legal procedures when revoking parole status. The ruling came in a 2025 class action lawsuit and may affect deportations that occurred since the program's termination.
