Judge Indira Talwani from the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts has created a new obstacle for President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants who were given parole during the Biden-Harris administration. A group of over 875,000 undocumented individuals from Afghanistan, Latin America, and Ukraine entered the U.S. with the sponsorship of Americans. In partnership with their American sponsors and a non-profit organization in San Diego, eight of them have come together to form a class. This class was approved by Judge Talwani, halting the removal or deportation of any illegal immigrant belonging to the class until the legal proceedings are complete.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued an order directing the Trump administration to continue processing applications for work permits and status renewals submitted by these immigrants.
The individuals who initiated the lawsuit include Sandra McAnany, Wilhen Pierre Victor, and Kyle Varner, along with support from the Haitian Bridge Alliance, a non-profit organization based in San Diego that assists Haitians and others in entering the United States.
The migrants were granted a two-year “parole” to live in the country under programs established by former President Joe Biden. The programs let migrants and their immediate family members fly to the United States as long as they had sponsors in America. Then, they would be placed on parole for two years.
However, the Trump administration has been trying to end all parole programs as part of its immigration crackdown and has already asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the matter. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 20 directing the government to end “all categorical parole programs” set up during the Biden administration.
Riddle me this: If, according to Judge Talwani, Trump does not have “broad discretion” to end this program, why then did President Joe Biden, or whoever was in charge that day, have broad discretion to administer and alter this program? Someone make it make sense.
The majority of the legacy media is fixated on the tariff wars and that court ruling. However, Trump winning the day on immigration is equally critical. As was the case of Trump’s use of the Enemies Alien Act, and the 300,000 Venezuelans under TPS, SCOTUS will have to become involved here.
