Federal Judge Pauses Expedited Removal of Paroled Migrants Nationwide

News summary

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's policy aimed at expedited removal of migrants who were granted parole at U.S. ports of entry, ruling that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) exceeded its legal authority and acted arbitrarily. U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb issued a stay preventing the expedited deportation of parolees until ongoing litigation concludes, criticizing the practice of dismissing migrants' cases in immigration court only to detain them immediately afterward. The ruling halted directives that broadened the use of expedited removal and terminated certain Biden-era parole programs for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The judge emphasized the importance of allowing parolees to have their cases heard fairly rather than being summarily removed, highlighting concerns about enforcement tactics resembling those in countries migrants fled. This legal challenge was supported by immigrant rights groups who opposed the administration's use of expedited removal in courthouses, where ICE agents waited to detain migrants after case dismissals. Separately, a different federal judge delayed the Trump administration's revocation of Temporary Protected Status for migrants from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal, a decision criticized by conservative commentators for its language and reasoning.
