Introduction: A Controversial Ruling
Federal judge Indira Talwani has recently made headlines after issuing a ruling that halted the Trump administration’s attempt to end an immigration parole program initiated during the Biden administration. The program, known as the CHNV parole program, grants temporary legal status to nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, allowing over 500,000 migrants to stay in the U.S. for up to two years, provided they meet specific criteria, including background checks and sponsorship from U.S.-based individuals or organizations.
