The revocation of the legal status of 532,000 immigrants suspended by a judge from Boston – Liberation
American justice to the aid of immigrants. A Federal Boston judge prevented Donald Trump administration on Monday to Tuesday, April 15 to dismiss the legal status of 532,000 immigrants Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans and Cuban. The decision of judge Indira Talwani is the last ordinance against the will of the American president to carry out massive expulsions targeting, in particular, the Latin American.
Donald Trump administration announced at the end of March the end of a special programset up in 2023 by the previous government of President Joe Biden, which allowed Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to stay in the United States for two years due to the human rights situation in their countries. This regime therefore allowed a total of more than half a million people to enter the United States, up to a maximum of 30,000 per month.
Judge Talwani ordered the emergency suspension of the abolition of the program. She considered that the government had acted on the basis of an erroneous interpretation of the law, the accelerated expulsion procedure applying to non-citizens who illegally entered the United States, but not to those who legally stay there under government programs.
Without this suspension, migrants who entered the United States under this program should have left the country by April 24, 30 days after the promulgation of the decree ending it. During his electoral campaign, President Donald Trump had promised to expel « millions » undocumented immigrants.
