Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a stay preventing the Trump administration from ending the CHNV parole program, which provided temporary legal status to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
  • The ruling halts the planned April 24 termination of legal protections, which would have subjected over 500,000 migrants to expedited deportation.
  • Judge Talwani stated that the Trump administration's decision was based on an incorrect interpretation of immigration law, targeting individuals who entered the U.S. legally under the program.
  • The CHNV program, established under the Biden administration, aimed to provide a lawful pathway for migrants and reduce irregular border crossings.
  • The legal challenge argues that ending the program violates the Administrative Procedure Act and deprives migrants of due process, while the Trump administration maintains it acted within its statutory authority.
