Overview

  • The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's order blocking the Trump administration from terminating the CHNV parole program.
  • The CHNV program, established by President Biden in 2022, grants temporary legal status and work authorization to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
  • Judge Indira Talwani previously ruled that the Department of Homeland Security's categorical termination of the program violated due process by not providing case-by-case reviews.
  • The Trump administration's move to end the program is part of its broader immigration crackdown aimed at reversing Biden-era policies.
  • Roughly 400,000 migrants will retain their legal status and work authorizations while further litigation proceeds.
