Judge Blocks Trump's Attempt to End Migrant Program
Tap title to read story
A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's attempt to end a Biden-era program granting legal status to migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti. The program, which allows over 500,000 people to legally live and work in the US, was set to expire on April 24th. Judge Indira Talwani's ruling prevents the immediate termination, citing the hardship it would impose on migrants. The Trump administration argued the program exacerbated immigration issues, while the Biden administration viewed it as a means to reduce illegal border crossings. This is one of several attempts by the Trump administration to roll back immigration protections.
