A federal judge in Boston has temporarily halted the Trump administration's effort to terminate a Biden-era program that provides temporary legal status to migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti. Judge Indira Talwani noted that ending the program would lead to potential deportation for thousands of immigrants. Immigrant advocates expressed relief over the decision, celebrating it as a win for those fearing loss of legal status. The ruling also contrasts with ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to revoke legal protections for various migrant communities.
Judge Indira Talwani highlighted that the program's termination would place thousands at risk of deportation, creating a binary between voluntary departure or waiting for removal.
Karen Tumlin emphasized that the court's decision is a significant victory not only for the affected migrants but for anyone who values the principle of welcoming immigrants.
