Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Deportation Order for Migrants
A federal judge halts Trump’s order to deport over 500,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans with temporary legal status, citing legal misinterpretations.
Overview
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani has issued a stay preventing the Trump administration from revoking temporary legal status for more than 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The judge criticized the administration’s reasoning for ending the humanitarian parole program, calling it an incorrect interpretation of the law. Immigration advocates expressed relief, stating that the ruling protects those who followed legal pathways to the U.S. This decision counters actions that sought to dismantle Biden-era policies and may impact the administration’s approach to immigration enforcement.
