US judge blocks Trump administration's push to end legal status of 8,400 migrants

BOSTON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's push to terminate the legal status of more than 8,400 family members of U.S. citizens and green card holders who moved to the United States from seven Latin American countries.

Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction late on Saturday that prevents the Department of Homeland Security from ending the humanitarian parole granted to thousands of people from Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

They had been allowed to move to the United States under family reunification parole programs that were created or modernized by Democratic President Joe Biden's administration.

Since Republican President Donald Trump succeeded Biden, his administration has ramped up immigration enforcement with $170 billion budgeted for immigration agencies through September 2029, a historic sum.

Under the family reunification programs, U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, also known as green card holders, could apply to serve as sponsors for family members in those seven countries, letting them live in the U.S. while they waited for their immigrant visas to become available.

The Homeland Security Department said on December 12 it was ending the programs on the grounds that they were inconsistent with Trump's immigration enforcement priorities and were abused to allow "poorly vetted aliens to circumvent the traditional parole process."

The termination was originally set to take effect January 14, but Talwani issued a temporary restraining order blocking it for 14 days while she considered whether to issue Saturday's longer-term injunction.

Talwani said the department, led by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, had provided no support for its fraud concerns or considered whether individuals could feasibly return to their home countries, where many had sold homes or left jobs.

If they sold their homes and quit their jobs to come here, why are we on the hook for their life expenses in America? The judge highlighted a terrible flaw in her logic.

What started out as judicial encroachment into the purview of the executive branch has quickly morphed into judicial usurpation. Indeed, it could well be called a Judicial Jihad. Their end game is obviously to stop Trump at all costs, even if it means totally destroying confidence and credibility of the judiciary itself.

The sad thing is that congress could reign in these rogue judges but it refuses to do so.

The communist party to include members of the Republican party a part of the world view America needs to be destroyed. They don’t like our independent minded culture, therefore open borders must be saved to bring in collective-minded groups of illegals to destroy our way of life by stealing and killing innocent citizens. Now, it seems they are pushing for a civil war in this country.

did Trump appoint ANY JUDGES???

Yes, according to this list, he appointed 261 judges. The problem is that the demonRATS shop for corrupt judges that care nothing for the law, but reliably support their anti-US agenda.

List of federal judges appointed by Donald Trump
