The intense struggle between the Trump Administration and federal judges continued this week with another court ordering a halt to a nationwide program. In Massachusetts, District Judge Indira Talwani is preventing President Donald Trump from canceling a Biden program granting parole and the right to work to immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV). Judge Talwani’s order would require individual hearings for the half of a million individuals allowed into the country under this program by President Joe Biden.
Under the announcement published in the Federal Register, the Department of Homeland Security officially moved to terminate the CHNV Program.
The announcement followed an Executive Order, signed on Trump’s first day in office, entitled “Securing Our Borders,” directing the DHS to end the CHNV program.
Under the notice, DHS said that the parole status would expire in 30 days “unless the Secretary makes an individual determination to the contrary.” It further mandated that parolees who had not obtained a legal basis to be in the United States, such as a green card or other visa, must depart the United States before their parole expires.
In the prior hearing, Judge Talwani indicated that she would not allow that to happen, stating that the Administration’s interpretation of the law was “incorrect” and that “[t]he nub of the problem here is that [Homeland Security Secretary Krisit Noem], in cutting short the parole period afforded to these individuals, has to have a reasoned decision.”
In her opinion, Judge Talwani wrote:
“If their parole status is allowed to lapse, plaintiffs will be faced with two unfavorable options: continue following the law and leave the country on their own, or await removal proceedings. If plaintiffs leave the country on their own, they will face dangers in their native countries, as set forth in their affidavits.”
The court also noted that leaving would cause family separation and jeopardize their ability to seek a remedy based on the Administrative Procedure Act.
The Administration argued that it did have a “reasoned decision” to end the CHNV program and weighed the cost to the parolees. It noted that the parolees were always going to face family separation and costs since this was just a temporary, two-year program. It asserted that it did weigh alternative periods for winding down the program. While the court may disagree with its conclusions, it asserts that it has the same discretion used by President Biden in creating the program.
There was another pressing reason for the change. If the parolees were allowed to run the course of the full period, those who did not obtain legal status could force formal removal proceedings rather than the expedited removal under the program.
The Justice Department maintained:
“DHS’s decision to terminate the CHNV program and existing grants of parole under that program is within this statutory authority and comports with the notice requirements of the statute and regulations,” they wrote. “Additionally, given the temporary nature of CHNV parole and CHNV parolees’ pre-existing inability to seek re-parole under the program, their harms are outweighed by the harms to the public if the Secretary is not permitted to discontinue a program she has determined does not serve the public interest.”
All of this presents another novel legal question. Parole is not a legal status under immigration laws. It is a status created by executive action and is now being curtailed under that same authority. However, these individuals came to the country under the promise of a two-year period. The question is whether a temporary program created by executive fiat can be treated as creating a type of vested right.
If Judge Talwani prevails, individual determinations of half a million cases would be an overwhelming burden on the Administration and easily run out the time granted under the program for these individuals. Indeed, for many of the individuals, the appellate process could exceed that period.
The court is not weighing the harshness of the decision but the president’s discretion in making such a decision. Judge Talwani suggests that, once created by President Biden, the program cannot be curtailed or shortened by President Trump. That question could very well find itself on the Supreme Court’s ever-lengthening docket.

Judge Blocking Trump’s Deportation Of Foreign Nationals Donated To Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren

Isn’t this obvious, Judge Indira Talwani is Putin sympathizer that supports the Communist Global web. Cuba (Communist), Haiti (Up for Grabs), Nicaragua (Communist), and Venezuela (Communist). Give her a one-way ticket to Moscow.
She is a socialist and communist sympathizer and at the apex of Russiagate.
She’s Putin gone Wild! Lock her up in the El Salvadorian Prison !!!
Look Who’s playing Double Standards now: The Judge, The CHNV, The NGO’s, and the Democrats that brought this on.
She’d have to take Obongo with her.
With every Trump challenge by lower courts on what clearly appear to Article 2 responsibilities, We are heading towards a country ruled by the Supreme Court.
The time is long overdue to give the Courts a big middle finger.
“The Juristocracy”
Article 2, Section 1
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

I have noticed that the majority of federal district judges rendering these anti-Trump, pro-immigration orders, are themselves identified with very ethnic/nationality names.
Are they “randomly” being selected to adjudicate these cases in favor of making America lose its 67% White/Caucasian majority, by hook or by crook?
Or is it just the case that the district tier of federal courts has an over-representation of non White/Caucasian judges?
Judge Indira Talwani won the Chinese Progressive Association Worker’s Justice Award in 2012

I saw a blog saying the Chinese Progressive Association is deeply connected with the Chinese Communist Party, but I don’t know how reliable that is.
# Talwani is a graduate of Berkeley law. She’s famous for Operation Vasity Blue as judge. This was the case of felicity Huffman and many other actors and wealthy people getting their children into elite colleges via bribery and SAT cheating schemes.
Talwani will most likely lose this. The paroles were given for humanitarian reasons to people inadmissible due to criminal records. They had reasons such as care for a dying family member or funerals etc.
Americans created this country.

The democrat party is destroying it.
Not sure where the “parole” status fits in, particularly as it is said not to have a place in immigration law.

Rogue federal judge bans parents from wearing wristbands protesting transgenders competing in women’s sports.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/04/15/federal-judge-blocks-new-hampshire-parents-protesting-trans-athletes-wristbands
This issue was settled in the 1969 Tinker Supreme Court decision when the Court said peace symbols couldn’t be banned.
So this rogue judge believes he can defy the Supreme Court to promote his own ideology.
I think this is not “good behavior” that is required of judges and the lack of which can end their term.
Jonathan: What actually are the “harms” DJT’s DHS is worried about by the presence of 530,000 immigrants under the CHNV parole program? How is their presence somehow not in the “public interest”. Before DJT came to power we used to welcome immigrants from all over the world–fleeing political violence or persecution in their home countries. It used to be our humanitarian mission to protect them. Not any more.
DJT and Elon Musk are racists. They hate immigrants of color who come here to make a better life for themselves and their families. But they do welcome some immigrants–White South Africans or members of the white criminal class, like the Tate Brothers, but anyone of color is not welcome in the DJT/Musk “White Amerika”.
Immigration policy based on “whiteness” is not what this country should be about. Kudos to Judge Talwani for trying to protect those under the CHNV program!
“National sovereignty”, built around borders, language, and culture, has nothing to do with your manufactured racist psycho-babble. Deportation of those that are here illegally, is a beautiful thing.
You’ve got to be kidding. The only racists today are the Democrats who view everything through a prism of racism.

Is it in any way possible that racism is antithetical or unconstitutional in the United States of America?
Something went terribly wrong somewhere, didn’t it?
What are the Harms Talwani is concerned about ?
You do not harm someone when you take away something that was never theirs in the first place.
The US government is not and most definitedly should not be a charity.
Charity is the responsibility of individuals.
What assistance have you give to those in need ?
Sorry Dennis – most of the country no longer cares who you call a racist.
Trump has encouraged Venezuelans to return to Venezeula and apply to immigrate legally.
He beleifs that Tariffs will create a boom in the US economy that can not be met by citizens.
He has already said that Legal immigration will get expanded – once citizens have decent jobs.
After that we as a nation choose who we want in the US.
Not be race or the color of their skin, but what they can contribute to the country.
I would note that the largest group of legal immigrants BY FAR is asians.
My daughter and son are both asian – their not white.
The left is racist against asians.
There is no CHNV program – Biden created it out of whole cloth – without any legal authority.
Trump ended it – it is gone.
Judge Talwani will lose.
Your race card expired. Get a new line of argument.
No link to the actual decision?
Immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) flock in Texas (Houston) to Florida (Miami) i.e.: along the Gulf of America’s Coast.
Should not be to difficult to get a quarter of them (125K) rounded up. The Leaders of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) love it because they eventually collect the U.S. Dollar these Immigrants send home. The Leaders need to be toppled and Constitutional Governments created as these Immigrants are deported Home. They’ve had a taste of America and need to make these changes in their respective Countries.

The second anonymous saw the ‘V’ in Venezuela, then googled “what nations start with v,” then got Vietnam as an answer, and made the logical connection that if the first anonymous says anything about Venezuela, the first anonymous must be a Vietnam veteran (the second anonymous was bolstered in his thinking by the fact that “veteran” also starts with a v).

Here is the heart of the matter. The left wing advocates have zero ideas to solve the mounting (massive) problems of this nation and the world. They offer no counter solutions. Their strategy is to pick a few hot topic items, skew the facts (or hide them altogether) and resist this duly elected President, his administration and his cabinet.
They follow Joseph Gobbles’ mandate to tell a lie and keep telling it again and again and again as though it is truth. That is what the 83 old multimillionaire communist Bernie Sanders is doing. Spartacus looks unhappy all the time.
If Judge Talwani prevails, individual determinations of half a million cases would be an overwhelming burden on the Administration and easily run out the time granted under the program for these individuals. Indeed, for many of the individuals, the appellate process could exceed that period.
It is her religion: the Resistance™.
Politics is the religion of the Left in America today. It was a god they could mold in their own image aka post-modernism. One would think that these Federal District Judges would show restraint, deference, and a modicum of temperance towards the Chief Executive Office, given their position as district judges. Restraint is one of those Judeo-Christian principles, once practiced in the history of our nation, that has disappeared, as Professor Turley has often remarked vis a vis “politics of rage”. This happened in large part due to SCOTUS dismissing God and natural law under Chief Justices Fred Vinson and Earl Warren. When they kicked prayer out of schools, it was down hill from there.
Not to be outdone, just a few months ago, Judge Talwani scolded high profile law firms in Boston in her courtrom for doing what she is now ordering per her district judge order. Hypocrite? No. the Resistance™ makes their own rules, is self-referrential, practices moral relativism, and expresses nothing but cynicism: aka post-modernism.
SCOTUS brought this problem onto themselves. Justice Roberts is now faced with stacks of appeals, due to his lack of corrective action on district judges.
Judge accuses high-profile law firms of possible effort to ‘gum up the works’
A federal judge in Boston complained during a status conference Friday that lawyers from three high-profile law firms had filed so many motions and documents that they were failing to keep litigation just, speedy and inexpensive, as required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani of the District of Massachusetts scolded 11 lawyers involved in litigation over the sale of a Mexican funeral company.

God bless each and happy Easter.
Do as christ said, pray for them. It’ll keep your soul clean of anger.
If anything comes of this ongoing battle between the Trump admin and individual district court judges, it would be the development of a structure under which any case that seeks a nationwide injunction would be channeled to a specially established court. My ideal would be a court consisting of one judge at random from each circuit, with a 3 or 5 judge panel to be randomly selected from the overall group. It would assure that any remedy designed to apply nationally would be imposed by a cross-section of appellate judges from around the country, eliminating the forum shopping and the unintended power being imbued in a single district judge.
Sounds good, common sense. vis a vis, it will nver happen because the Dems couldn’t twist it in their favor.
What if another federal judge determined that Biden had been unfit for office and that some or all of the executive orders were null and void ? Why not ? Why not continue the conflicting debate as to how the American judicial system should function ?
Wow! Another judge? What planet do you live on friend?
O T – yesterday I wrote a comment in response to the previous column about the COVID cover-up; it was critical of the CCP, and mentioned its genocide of the Uyughurs. The comment later disappeared. Is the CCP censoring this blog?
It does seem odd that the professor’s article that brought China’s Covid misdeeds into sharp relief is the very one targeted by hackers. Then again, maybe not so odd.
