united states federal judge blocks controversial border policy just hours before it was set to take effect
A united states federal judge in Texas issued a last-minute injunction today against a new immigration enforcement policy that would have allowed expedited deportations without court hearings. The ruling, which came just 12 hours before the policy’s planned launch, cites due process concerns and potential harm to thousands of asylum seekers. The policy, often called ‘Operation Safe Return,’ was pushed by the current administration as a measure to deter illegal crossings. However, critics argued it violates longstanding protections for those fleeing persecution. This is real—the decision has been confirmed by court documents. Fake claims circulating online that the judge was bribed or that the policy was already enforced are false and debunked by the official docket.
