While many petitions remain pending, records show both Democrat and Republican appointed judges recommended or ordered migrants be released in eight lawsuits.

Sen. Cruz Statement Following President Trump Signing the MEDAL Act into Law - The Medal of Honor is our nation’s highest military honor, reserved only for those who have distinguished themselves through acts of valor that go above and beyond the call of duty. While we will never be able to repay the debt we owe to the men and women whose actions earned them this medal, we can continue to honor them by ensuring they are cared for, respected, and supported. I’m deeply thankful to President Trump for signing the MEDAL Act into law.
