"Today, we had a hearing specifically focused on the CHNV parole program. And to give a recap on what came out of that, there was a lot of discussion about a lot of laws, about a lot of legal issues at play here. It seems as if the court and the judge is inclined to block the mass revocation of validly issued parole grants that the government is trying to do with the Federal Register notice for CHNV beneficiaries who are currently here in the United States who still have time left on their parole grants. So she did not give this ruling from the bench, so it is not set in stone yet, but she indicated that this is potentially where she’s heading. Additionally, we also discussed the issue of potentially certifying a class, and the judge indicated that she would be inclined to certify a class for CHNV beneficiaries who are here who would be affected by this mass revocation of parole grants."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Laura Flores-Perilla, attorney from Justice Action Center:
"This is still very early on in the case. We don’t know when the judge will make her decision yet in terms of whether she will block the mass revocations of CHNV parole grants for individuals who are in the United States, but we’re hopeful she’ll rule soon. because April 24th is coming. It’s two weeks away, and the judge seems to be inclined to move quickly given that time is passing, and each day that passes, just the stress and anxiety grows more and more."

"The judge recognized this, that this is unusual because this has never happened before. This is unprecedented. No administration has tried to… as far as we know, has tried to terminate parole in a massive way like this."

STORYLINE:
A federal judge on Thursday said she will halt the Trump administration from ending a program that allowed hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to temporarily live in the United States.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani that she will issue a stay on the program, which was set to end later this month. The push to help more than half-a-million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans is part of a broader legal effort to protect nationals from Ukraine, Afghanistan and other countries who are here legally.
Last month, the administration revoked legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans, setting them up for potential deportation in 30 days. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said they will lose their legal status on April 24.
They arrived with financial sponsors and were given two-year permits to live and work in the U.S. During that time, the beneficiaries needed to find other legal pathways if they wanted to stay in the U.S. Parole has been a temporary status.
President Donald Trump has been ending legal pathways for immigrants to come to the U.S., implementing campaign promises to deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally.
