(CNN) A federal judge in Boston said Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement shouldn't remove people who are in the process of applying for green cards just because they have final orders of removal. "ICE may only remove them from the US after considering the fact that they were pursuing provisional waivers," Wolf said in court Thursday. USCIS said that, in general, when its officers encounter someone with outstanding warrants or removal orders, they will notify the appropriate law enforcement agency. Calderon had been subject to a final order of removal since the age of 15, after her father's asylum application was denied. Both parties are expected to file written status reports on the case to Wolf by Sept. 12.
