The Trump administration has faced various legal setbacks in its efforts to implement sweeping deportations and immigration policies, with some of the judges issuing orders accusing officials of racism and unfavorable comparisons in dramatic opinions.

The ruling blocks a new tactic employed by the Trump administration: detaining immigrants outside court appearances and putting them into a sped-up deportation process known as expedited removal.

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from fast-tracking the deportation of potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants who were paroled into the U.S. under former President Joe Biden's humanitarian programs.
