Overview

  • A 1st Circuit panel lifted a district-court stay, allowing the administration to end humanitarian parole for roughly 430,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela while litigation continues.
  • The judges acknowledged potential irreparable harms but said plaintiffs had not shown a strong likelihood of success on the merits, echoing a May Supreme Court action that had already let terminations proceed temporarily.
  • In New York, U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel temporarily blocked a DOJ directive urging immigration judges to quickly dismiss cases so ICE could immediately arrest people after hearings in Manhattan and Bronx courts.
  • Castel declined to halt ICE’s courthouse arrest policy in the city, finding the agency’s shift from Biden-era limits was explained and not arbitrary, so civil arrests at or near immigration courts may continue for now.
  • A separate class action in San Diego seeks to bar courthouse arrests and vacate new DHS/ICE guidance, naming two asylum seekers detained after hearings as plaintiffs, while local volunteers report fewer recent hallway arrests.
