A federal judge took action on Monday to prevent the Trump administration from enforcing a controversial new policy.
The policy aimed to subject thousands of refugees to arrest and detention if they hadn't acquired green cards after a year in the United States.
U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns in Boston responded to a request from six refugees and two advocacy groups, who argued the policy was an unlawful deviation from long-standing practices.
