Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:
The article is mostly accurate, with the core claim of a US judge blocking the deportation plan being verified by multiple sources. However, the article's claim about the deportations being planned "immediately" is not explicitly supported by all sources and the BBC article attributes the plan to the "Trump administration" which is factually incorrect as the current administration is not the Trump administration. This introduces a moderate bias.
