US Court Denies Legal Fees to Groups Challenging Trump Immigration Rules

Washington DC. A federal court in Manhattan, USA has rejected the demand for payment of legal fees amounting to approximately 1.4 million US dollars by rights groups that successfully challenged the immigration rules implemented during former President Donald Trump's first term.

Federal District Judge George Daniels stated in Wednesday's decision that groups including 'Make the Road New York' were not eligible as winning parties under the federal Equal Access to Justice Act. This decision is seen as a major financial blow to rights organizations that fought against Trump-era immigration policies.
