A California judge is extending migrant status protections ended by the Trump administration for more than 60,000 people from Central America and Nepal.

In blocking the end of deportation protections for more than 60,000 migrants, the judge said the Trump administration’s language surrounding the program had strayed into racist conspiracy theories.

A US federal judge blocked the Trump-era move to end deportation protections for citizens of Nepal, Nicaragua, and Honduras, citing racial bias and inadequate review of country condition.
