Judge Rules Against Trump Policy on Green Cards - WSJ
Federal judge says administration broke law by denying path to green card for certain young illegal immigrants
A federal judge ruled late Friday that the Trump administration broke the law by denying a path to a green card for abused, abandoned and neglected young illegal immigrants in New York state.
Illegal immigrants under age 21 were once regularly awarded what is known as Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, which allowed them to obtain a green card. Early last year, federal immigration authorities began denying this status to immigrants 18 through 20 years old.
=======================================
Trump's xenophobic stance on immigrants just hit a speed bump.
