NEW! A federal court in DC just ruled that President Trump's "invasion" proclamation banning asylum at the southern border is UNLAWFUL. Judge Moss vacates agency guidance implementing the proclamation, issues declaratory relief that the order is unlawful, and enjoins DHS from implementation.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT CENTER
FOR EDUCATION AND LEGAL
SERVICES, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
KRISTI NOEM, et al.,
Defendants.
Civil Action No. 25-306 (RDM)
ORDER
For the reasons set forth in the Court’s Memorandum Opinion, Dkt. 71, it is hereby
ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment, Dkt. 51, is GRANTED in
part, DENIED in part, and DEFERRED in part; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class, Dkt. 13, is GRANTED in part and
DEFERRED in part; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction, Dkt. 14, is DENIED as
moot in light of the Court’s merits decisions; and it is further
ORDERED that the agency guidance implementing Proclamation 10888, 90 Fed. Reg.
8333 (Jan. 20, 2025), is VACATED pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 706(2) to the extent that it authorizes
extra-statutory and extra-regulatory removals or repatriations of covered individuals; precludes
the individual plaintiffs and class members from accessing their statutory rights to apply for
asylum; precludes the individual plaintiffs and class members from applying for and, where
appropriate, obtaining withholding of removal; and departs from the Convention Against Torture

(“CAT”) protection screening standards set forth in the Department of Justice and Department of
Homeland Security CAT regulations; and it is further
DECLARED as to the Agency Defendants that Proclamation 10888 is unlawful insofar
as it purports to suspend or to restrict access to asylum, withholding of removal, or the existing
regulatory processes for obtaining CAT protection or authorizes the Agency Defendants to adopt
or to implement extra-statutory or extra-regulatory removal or repatriation procedures; and it is
further
DECLARED as to the Agency Defendants that neither 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(f) & 1185(a)
nor the President’s authority under the Vesting Clause or Article IV, Section 4 of the
Constitution authorizes the President or his subordinates to suspend or to restrict access to the
provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that permit the continued presence in the
United States of individuals, irrespective of their status, who have entered and who are present in
the United States; and it is further
ORDERED that the Agency Defendants (including their officers, agents, servants,
employees, and attorneys and those who are in active concert or participation with any of those
individuals) are ENJOINED from implementing the Proclamation to remove individual
plaintiffs or class members using non-statutory repatriation or removal proceedings; and it is
further
ORDERED that the Agency Defendants (including their officers, agents, servants,
employees, and attorneys and those who are in active concert or participation with any of those
individuals) are ENJOINED from removing any individual plaintiffs or class members without
complying with the asylum statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a); and it is further

ORDERED that the Agency Defendants (including their officers, agents, servants,
employees, and attorneys and those who are in active concert or participation with any of those
individuals) are ENJOINED from narrowing the eligibility criteria for asylum without
complying with 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(2)(C); and it is further
ORDERED that the Agency Defendants (including their officers, agents, servants,
employees, and attorneys and those who are in active concert or participation with any of those
individuals) are ENJOINED from using procedures other than those set forth in the relevant
regulations when processing individual plaintiffs’ or class members’ CAT protection claims; and
it is further
ORDERED that the parties shall meet and confer and submit to the Court a joint status
report proposing next steps for the case on or before July 11, 2025; and it is further
ORDERED that the parties shall appear for a status conference on July 15, 2025, at
10:00 a.m., in Courtroom 8; and it is further
ORDERED that this Order shall not take effect with respect to the absent class members
until July 16, 2025, to allow Defendants the opportunity to seek a stay in the court of appeals and
to implement the Court’s decision in an orderly fashion, but shall take immediate effect with
respect to the named individual plaintiffs who are currently present in the United States; and it is
further
ORDERED that partial final judgment is hereby entered pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 54(b) as to the claims of those individual plaintiffs and class members who are
or will be present in the United States, with the exception of the portions of the Sixth Claim for
Relief raising arbitrary-and-capricious arguments under the Administrative Procedure Act, see

Dkt. 11 at 39 (Am. Compl. ¶ 138), and all of the Seventh Claim for Relief, see id. at 39–40 (Am.
Compl. ¶¶ 139–43), all of which have been held in abeyance pending further order of the Court.
This Order constitutes a final, appealable judgment of the Court within the meaning of
Rule 58(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
SO ORDERED.

Global infant mortality rate with

Infant mortality rates measure the share of newborns who die before reaching their first birthday. They are shown here as the actual observed change in the global rate (in blue), and a hypothetical scenario if vaccinations hadn't been rolled out (in red).

While both lines decline, the gap between them continues to widen, resulting in an almost 50% difference at 2024.
