Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani temporarily halted the Trump administration's plan to revoke legal status and work permits for migrants under the CHNV program.
  • The ruling mandates individualized reviews for over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela before any termination of their legal status.
  • The CHNV program, created during the Biden administration, provided two-year legal status and work permits to reduce irregular border crossings.
  • The Trump administration's attempt to end the program by April 24 faced criticism for forcing migrants into unsafe options or deportation without due process.
  • This decision underscores ongoing legal and political battles over immigration authority and the humanitarian impact on affected communities.
