A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's plan to revoke work permits for tens of thousands of asylum seekers and immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

• The order will remain in effect until Judge Nathaniel Gorton decides on a longer-term pause by August 5.
• The lawsuit was filed by a coalition of immigrant rights groups and labor unions, including Democracy Forward.
• The blocked policies were designed to implement new immigration restrictions enacted by Congress last year, which imposed fees for asylum applications and restricted employment authorization for TPS holders.
