Humanitarian Parole: Federal judge blocks the program’s cancellation—for now

A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s effort to revoke the humanitarian parole program, which benefits over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

What did the court decide?
Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the proposed cancellation lacked a solid legal basis and was carried out without due process. The ruling came in response to lawsuits filed by civil rights organizations and parole recipients who argued that ending the program would endanger thousands of people who entered the U.S. legally under its terms.

What does this mean?
The court’s decision provides temporary relief, allowing current parole holders to remain in the U.S. legally while the case moves forward. However, the situation is still uncertain—the government may appeal and continue efforts to end the program.
