A lawyer whose immigrant rights group Justice Action Centre pursued the case welcomed the court’s decision. She called the administration’s actions “reckless and illegal.”

A federal appeals court on Monday rejected a request by President Donald Trump’s administration to allow it to revoke the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans living in the United States.

The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to put on hold a judge’s order halting the Department of Homeland Security’s move to cut short a two-year “parole” granted to the migrants under Mr Trump’s Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden.

The administration’s action marked an expansion of the Republican president’s hardline crackdown on immigration and push to ramp up deportations, including of noncitizens previously granted a legal right to live and work in the United States.

The administration argued that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had discretion to categorically end the migrants’ status and that the judge’s order was forcing the U.S. government to “retain hundreds of thousands of aliens in the country against its will.”

However, a three-judge panel comprised entirely of appointees of Democratic presidents said Ms Noem “has not at this point made a ‘strong showing’ that her categorical termination of plaintiffs’ parole is likely to be sustained on appeal.”

Karen Tumlin, a lawyer whose immigrant rights group Justice Action Centre pursued the case, welcomed the court’s decision. She called the administration’s actions “reckless and illegal.”

The administration could now ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene.

“The Trump administration is committed to restoring the rule of law to our immigration system,” Homeland Security Department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “No lawsuit, not this one or any other, is going to stop us from doing that.”

A lawsuit by immigrant rights advocates representing migrants challenged the agency’s decision to pause various Biden-era programs that have allowed Ukrainian, Afghan, Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants to enter the country.

While the case was pending, the Homeland Security Department on March 25 announced in a Federal Register notice that it had decided to terminate the two-year parole granted to about 400,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelan migrants.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of Democratic President Barack Obama, on April 25 halted the agency’s action, which she said revoked previously granted parole and work authorisations for migrants on a categorical basis and without a necessary case-by-case review.

She said the department’s sole basis for declining to allow the migrants’ parole status to expire naturally was based on a legal error, as it wrongly concluded doing so would foreclose the department’s ability to expedite their deportations legally.

court please help us. I haven't seen my brother for more than 10yrs now. No calls, no text, no chat. I can bet that if he is not dead, he is illegally staying in the US. Trump please beg the court to help us. My mum and dad are worried.

Trump must be "jealousing" Tinubu right now.

Democracy is still working in America, not in Nigeria where corrupt vegetables are controlling INEC, legislature and judiciary.

Wtf did he think he is?

Good call.

Just deport people without thinking. Just throw the baby out with the bathwater all the time. No wonder why Trump has over 10 failed business Ventures, including a casino.

Many of these migrants are already working and getting devoted replacements who will show up on time and aren't on meth won't happen overnight, if it ever will.

Many of these immigrants may be much needed farm hands whose absence from work probably accounts for the skyrocketing grocery prices, including those of eggs. Farms aren't harvesting their crops.

Maybe Incarcerated, that's if you guys havent fallen out with him
