US Judge Blocks Trump's Bid to End Legal Status for 8,400 Migrant Families
- •US District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration's plan to revoke legal status for over 8,400 migrant family members.
- •The injunction prevents the Department of Homeland Security from ending humanitarian parole protections for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
- •These individuals were admitted under family reunification parole programs initiated or expanded during the Biden administration.
- •The Trump administration sought to terminate these programs, citing conflicts with immigration priorities and alleged misuse by "poorly vetted aliens."
- •Judge Talwani ruled that Homeland Security failed to provide a reasoned explanation for the policy change, substantiate fraud claims, or consider the impact on affected individuals.
