- McConnell ruled the policies were unlawful, arbitrary, and based on anti-immigrant sentiments, not security concerns.
- The ruling requires USCIS to resume processing affected asylum claims, work permits, green cards, and citizenship applications.
- Stephen Miller criticized the judge's decision, stating it is "illegal to restrict migration" and could lead to loss of faith in the courts.
