A federal judge in New York ruled Thursday a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program can move forward.

The Trump administration had moved to dismiss the lawsuit filed by 16 state attorneys general and the District of Columbia.
