A federal judge in Boston has temporarily halted the Trump administration's efforts to end a program that allows migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti to obtain legal status and work in the U.S. The ruling protects over 500,000 individuals scheduled to lose their status soon. The program, initially established to reduce illegal border crossings, has faced criticism from the Trump administration, which argues it complicates immigration issues by providing protections without a clear long-term solution. The decision highlights ongoing legal battles over various immigration policies and protections for vulnerable populations.
A judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's attempt to terminate a Biden-era program that granted legal status to migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti.
The Biden administration had framed it as a strategic measure to reduce illegal border crossings by creating legitimate pathways to entry.
Migrants would be forced to choose between two injurious options: continue following the law and leave the country on their own, or await removal proceedings.
The latest legal setback for the Trump team comes amid broader efforts to roll back other immigration protections, including those for thousands of Cameroonian and Afghan migrants.
