Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Administration from Ending Biden-Era Migrant Parole Program

Federal Judge Indira Talwani ruled that over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela retain legal status pending case-by-case review, halting the administration's effort to revoke protections en masse.

Overview

  • Judge Indira Talwani issued an emergency stay preventing the Trump administration from terminating the CHNV parole program, which granted temporary legal status and work permits to over 530,000 migrants.
  • The ruling mandates that any revocation of parole status must involve individualized, case-by-case assessments rather than a blanket termination.
  • The CHNV program, initiated under the Biden administration, was designed to provide a legal pathway for migrants and reduce illegal border crossings.
  • The Trump administration had planned to end the program by April 24, requiring affected migrants to self-deport or face removal, as part of broader immigration policy changes.
  • Advocacy groups and migrants welcomed the decision as a significant legal and humanitarian victory, while Trump officials criticized the ruling as judicial overreach.
