Overview

  • Federal Judge Indira Talwani issued an emergency order halting the Trump administration's effort to revoke the legal status and work permits of over 530,000 migrants under the CHNV humanitarian parole program.
  • The judge ruled that the planned categorical termination of parole violated statutory requirements, mandating individualized case-by-case reviews instead.
  • The CHNV program, initiated by the Biden administration in 2022, provided temporary legal status and work permits to migrants for a two-year period, aimed at reducing irregular crossings and managing migration flows.
  • The Trump administration sought to end the program early, setting an April 24, 2025, termination date, but the court's decision temporarily blocks this move pending further review.
  • This legal battle underscores broader debates over executive authority in immigration policy and the importance of due process for migrants.
