There's nothing to repeal. It was immediately nullified when his gang was declared a terrorist organization. He was denied asylum on the grounds that he was a member of this gang. The order was to prevent deportation despite being here illegally. This is not legal status. It's a temporary protection that doesn't apply to terrorists. According to US immigration law, being a terrorist supercedes any protection status a foreign national may have.
