By "strikes down," I am referring to a preliminary injunction. Just clarifying that the new policy is *temporarily* stricken, with Crotty finding that the NYCLU has "clearly demonstrated the likelihood of success" that Lloyd's policy violates federal law. (The APA.)
Important note: This is NOT about Trump's "zero tolerance" family separation policy, which was enjoined by a San Diego federal judge last night.
This is about a Trump appointee's policy at ORR requiring his signature to release unaccompanied immigrant children.
