Boston, April 15, 2025: A federal judge has halted the Trump administration’s move to end the CHNV humanitarian parole program, which offers temporary legal entry to vetted migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The program, introduced under President Biden, was scheduled to end on April 24. However, Judge Indira Talwani ruled that terminating it without individual case reviews would violate legal standards and potentially risk the deportation of hundreds of thousands.
The ruling was welcomed by immigration advocates, who viewed it as a safeguard for migrants and their sponsors. In contrast, Trump administration officials criticized the decision, arguing it undermines executive powers. The court’s intervention marks a significant check on Trump’s immigration policy efforts.
