- Citizenship and Immigration Services ordered to resume processing work permit applications
A federal judge ordered U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to resume processing I-765 employment authorization applications for noncitizens from 39 countries after a lawsuit argued the freeze violated immigration laws. The judge rejected USCIS's claim that policy memos freezing applications were shielded from judicial review, stating they constituted final agency actions under the Administrative Procedure Act.
