Judge blocks Trump administration from revoking immigration parole
A federal judge has frozen a Trump administration plan to strip more than 10,000 immigrants of their legal status next week.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a temporary restraining order Saturday that extends the “family reunification parole” status of immigrants who were set to see it expire on Wednesday as part of the administration’s broad crackdown on immigration.
Talwani, an Obama appointee based in Boston, said immigration officials failed to properly notify those who might lose their legal authorization to remain in the United States, despite a requirement that they receive direct notification. Publishing the decision on Dec. 15 in the Federal Register — a government database — did not satisfy the requirement, Talwani ruled.
The Trump administration said it planned to provide the required “written notice” to affected immigrants through online accounts, but the judge said some immigrants with “parole” status got electronic notice weeks after the announcement last month, while others claim to have never been notified.
