U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy, who was appointed by President Trump, issued the ruling. She made a temporary injunction against the directive permanent, stating the administration's actions were 'unlawful' and 'procedurally invalid'.

Who sued to block the directive?

Democratic attorneys general from 20 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit challenging the directive. New York Attorney General Letitia James stated the directive's implementation would have been 'catastrophic' for working families.
