Biden proposed the 100-day pause on deportations during his campaign as part of a larger review of immigration enforcement and an attempt to reverse the priorities of former President Donald Trump.
Even without a moratorium, immigration agencies have wide latitude in enforcing removals and processing cases.
AdIt was not immediately clear if the Biden administration will appeal Tipton's latest ruling.
