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.
