A federal judge issued a permanent nationwide injunction today against yet another Trump administration immigration policy: a move to make it harder for foreigners to remain in the U.S. after their legal status runs out
But Biggs defended emphatically the propriety of the directives, particularly in immigration-related cases and cases where the plaintiffs have interests across the U.S.
Biggs also noted that a federal law key to the suit, the Administrative Procedure Act, tells judges to "hold unlawful and set aside" actions by federal agencies that fail to meet legal standards. That language seems to invite nationwide injunctions, she said. A statement from the White House press office released late Thursday said: "Today, a single, unelected, district judge in the Central District of California issued a legally groundless and sweeping injunction that—if not immediately lifted—will guarantee the release of innumerable criminal illegal aliens into our communities putting citizens at dire risk."
