(Photo by Jane Norman\/States Newsroom)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">WASHINGTON \u2014 A federal judge in Rhode Island Friday struck down several Trump administration policies that halted processing for asylum seekers following a shooting in Washington, D.C., that left one West Virginia National Guard member dead and another seriously injured.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.rid.61671\/gov.uscourts.rid.61671.28.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">In a searing opinion,<\/a>\u00a0Judge John J. McConnell Jr. said the Trump administration \u201cthrew the lives of countless immigrants living in the United States into indeterminate legal limbo\u201d when\u00a0it directed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to pause asylum applications and green card paperwork for immigrants hailing from 39\u00a0African, Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern\u00a0countries subject to the president\u2019s travel ban.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The policy was announced in November after the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/two-national-guard-members-west-virginia-wounded-targeted-shooting-dc\" target=\"_blank\">two National Guard members<\/a> were shot. Authorities later charged Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who was granted asylum, with the shooting. He has pleaded not guilty in federal court. A status conference is set for June 10 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">McConnell, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama, said the policy \u201cviolated the very immigration laws that Congress has charged it with administering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">USCIS is an agency within the Department of Homeland Security that oversees processing of legal immigration, ranging from asylum seekers to work authorization forms.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cUSCIS\u2019s hold on adjudications cannot be attributed to anything that these individuals did wrong; rather, it arises solely by the happenstance of their birth,\u201d\u00a0McConnell wrote.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He added that \u201cthe Court is reminded of a line often repeated in discussions around immigration policy: If people wish to immigrate to the United States, they ought to \u2018follow the law\u2019 and \u2018do things the right way.\u2019 This case serves as a perfect example of immigrants doing just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>New policy paused processing\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Labor unions and immigration advocacy groups in Rhode Island sued the Trump administration over the policies. They brought the suit on behalf of their members, immigrants who had the processing of their work visas and travel documents paused after the new policy following last year\u2019s shooting in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After the November shooting, on the eve of Thanksgiving, one guard member,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/one-national-guard-members-shot-attack-dc-has-died-trump-says\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20,\u00a0<\/a>died, and U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, was critically wounded, but recovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the groups that sued, Democracy Forward, praised the decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis ruling reaffirms a basic principle: the federal government cannot shut down lawful immigration pathways or discriminate against people based on where they come from,\u201d Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, said in a statement. \u201cThese unlawful policies caused enormous harm to families, workers, asylum seekers, and communities across the country who were left in limbo, unable to work, access protections, or move forward with their lives.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal judge on June 5, 2026, struck down several Trump administration policies that halted processing for asylum-seekers following a shooting in Washington, D.C. of two members of the National Guard deployed to the nation&#8217;s capital.
