US EditionU.S. appeals court rejects Trump bid to revoke 400,000 migrants’ legal status
- On May 5, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, located in Boston, denied a request from the Trump administration seeking to terminate the temporary legal protections afforded to several hundred thousand migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela residing in the United States.
- The request came after the Department of Homeland Security decided on March 25 to end a previously granted two-year parole period under President Joe Biden, a move that immigrant rights advocates contested through legal action, leading to a judge’s order on April 25 that temporarily blocked the termination.
- A panel of three judges, all appointed by Democratic presidents, determined that the current head of Homeland Security had not sufficiently demonstrated that her broad decision to end parole would likely be upheld on appeal, and they criticized the agency for revoking parole without conducting individualized evaluations.
- The Department of Homeland Security contended that the judge’s ruling compelled the U.S. Government to keep hundreds of thousands of migrants in the country against its intentions, while immigrant rights attorney Karen Tumlin criticized the administration’s measures as both reckless and unlawful.
- The court's decision preserves protections for about 400,000 migrants previously granted legal work and parole status and suggests the administration may seek U.S. Supreme Court intervention amid ongoing legal battles over immigration policies.
