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.

Another day, another injunction.
Another Obeyme appointee we need to remove from the bench.
Will this madness ever end?!
question....did Trump appoint ANY JUDGES???. EVERY JUDGE THEY GET IS A LEFT WING LUNATIC!!...WTF???
Maybe with a name like she has deport should go with it?
Did they mean to say US Judge Blocks US President”?
Because it didn’t come out that way
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.
“CHAIN MIGRATION”???????
How many judges did Lincoln arrest, anyway?
Another foreign born judge ?? Appointed by Obama or Biden?
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.
” Indira Talwani”
Another foreign judge?
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.
Gee....I thought SCOTUS put the kabosh on these blanket injunctions??
He should revoke the legal status of all these foreign democrat judges who put party above law.
An Obama judge. Bath House Barry’s only goal is to destroy the USA.
Benedict Obama minion.
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.
Activists in black robes.
