The Trump administration can’t immediately revoke the deportation protections and work permits of hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally under a Biden-era program, a federal judge ruled Monday.
U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with its plan to terminate the legal status of those migrants on April 24. The administration had warned those affected by its announcement that they would need to self deport by that date or face arrest and deportation by federal immigration agents.
But Talwani suspended the deportation warnings the government had sent and prohibited officials from revoking the legal protection, known as immigration parole, that the Biden administration granted to more than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.

His orders can be struck down? You mean like the two times they defied court orders just today, and one of them was a unanimous SCOTUS ruling, with this Court?
That’s the freedom from judicial authority he was given.
The SCOTUS ruling you’re referring to, while still a terrible precedent as a matter of policy, did not give him a blanket legal right to disregard court orders. He’s just doing it anyway.
Maybe not technically, but it effectively did. There’s no material difference.
You’re falling prey to the idea that in theory, theory and practice are identical, but in practice, theory and practice can often diverge sharply.
If he is immune from criminal prosecution for “official acts”, it is fully legal for him to defy court orders about “official acts”. That ruling gave him unchecked power. That ruling was our Enabling Act.

If they’re doing it, then they have the freedom to do it, until something actually stops them.
