Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, has thrown up another roadblock to President Donald Trump's plans to remove illegal immigrants who were granted parole under the Biden-Harris administration. This upwards of 875,000 illegals from Afghanistan, Latin America, and Ukraine were allowed into the country under sponsorship by Americans. Along with their American sponsors and a San Diego non-profit, eight of them have formed a class which was certified by Judge Talwani, effectively preventing the removal or deportation of any illegal who is a part of the class until the case has run its course:
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani of Massachusetts on Wednesday ordered the Trump administration to resume processing applications from those migrants who are seeking work permits or renewing their status.
Sandra McAnany, Wilhen Pierre Victor, and Kyle Varner are those sponsors who worked to get the lawsuit launched, along with the Haitian Bridge Alliance, a San Diego-based non-profit which helps Haitians and others gain entry into the United States.
“They didn’t do anything illegal. They followed the rules,” Kyle Varner, a 40-year-old doctor and real estate investor from Spokane, Washington, who sponsored 79 Venezuelans and is part of the lawsuit, told The Associated Press. “They have done nothing but work as hard as they can. ... This is just such a grave injustice.”
The migrants were granted a two-year "parole" to live in the country under programs established by former President Joe Biden. The programs let migrants and their immediate family members fly to the United States as long as they had sponsors in America. Then, they would be placed on parole for two years.
However, the Trump administration has been trying to end all parole programs as part of its immigration crackdown and has already asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the matter. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 20 directing the government to end "all categorical parole programs" set up during the Biden administration.
Riddle me this: If, according to Judge Talwani, Trump does not have "broad discretion" to end this program, why then did President Joe Biden, or whoever was in charge that day, have broad discretion to administer and alter this program? Someone make it make sense.
The majority of the legacy media is fixated on the tariff wars and that court ruling. However, Trump winning the day on immigration is equally critical. As was the case of Trump's use of the Enemies Alien Act, and the 300,000 Venezuelans under TPS, SCOTUS will have to become involved here.
