Overview

  • Judge Indira Talwani issued a temporary stay halting the Trump administration's plan to terminate the CHNV parole program, which provided legal status and work authorization to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
  • The ruling mandates case-by-case reviews for each migrant, rejecting the administration’s plan for a blanket revocation of legal status set to take effect on April 24.
  • The CHNV program, launched during the Biden administration, was designed to reduce irregular border crossings by offering lawful pathways for migrants with U.S.-based sponsors.
  • The decision prevents immediate deportations and highlights the potential humanitarian consequences, including family separations and risks in migrants’ home countries.
  • The Trump administration has signaled plans to appeal, setting the stage for a broader legal battle over executive authority in immigration policy.
