Federal Judge Jia M. Cobb, from the Columbia District Court, suspended this Friday the use of “accelerated deportations” of the Donal Trump government as a method to expel those who entered the country from the United States to grant them parole on the border or through the program of Humanitarian parole of the Biden administration.
In his sentence, Cobb wrote that “in a world of bad options, they acted according to the rules” and that “now, the government has not only closed those ways for newcomers, but also has changed the rules for people with parole that are already here. ”
“The underlying question of this case … is whether people with parole That they escaped from oppression will have the opportunity to defend their case within a rule system or, alternately, will they be sugarly deported from a country that … could look more like the countries they tried to escape? ”Said the magistrate, the magistrate also said cited by CNN.
The judicial ruling is the result of a lawsuit filed since the end of March of this year by coalition for the human rights of immigrants (Chirla), the Undocublack network (UBN) and Casa, after the White House completely annulled the program that allowed Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans to legally enter the country.
The demand has as its most important point to denounce the decision of the Trump administration to apply a method, which is normally used for those who recently crossed the border, the beneficiaries of the parole that legally entered and complying with a program of the Biden administration.
The raids of the immigration authority (ICE), promoted by the Trump government, have been arbitrarily and without prior notice to people benefited by the parole and processing their deportations without offering them the right to legal representation.
The biggest mass delegalization event in the history of the United States
The suspension of these accelerated deportation processes is not the final sentence of this judicial case, but will be in force while the claim is processed and only only applied to the persons granted entry to the country under probation.
This order also implies a total brake for the application of three directives of the Trump administration: a national security memorandum of January, a directive of the February immigration and control service in February and the cancellation in March of the programs of the programs of Humanitarian parole For Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.
The lawsuit filed by Chirla, UBN and Casa ensures that the Department of National Security is treating immigrants with probation as if they had illegally entered the United States, while exposing the irregularities of the process to which they are subjected to their arbitrary deportation.
The battle against the parole
From its entrance to the White House, Donald Trump has carried out a strong migratory policy, which includes the elimination of the program of Humanitarian parole Created by the Biden Administration to benefit citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and at the same time stop the massive entrance by the southern border of the United States.
Only one day after sitting at the Trump presidential chair ordered the National Security Department to end all probation programs, including the Humanitarian parole that had allowed to enter the country of more than 530 thousand immigrants from those four nations.
A month later, he paused “indefinitely” the processing of migration requests and in March the matter became especially complex, as Trump began the cruel way to seek to leave without legal status and in deportation position to those who had already entered the country through the program of the previous Democratic government.
The last months have been marked by a fierce judicial battle in which judges of the Federal Courts of Boston and Massachusetts have put some brakes to the president’s measures, while the Supreme Court, in response to an “emergency application” of Trump, He gave green light to the current government to move forward with the suspension of the program.
This Friday’s ruling is another important judicial questioning of Trump’s immigration policy and, according to CNNit can be understood “as an indicator of how the federal courts will interpret the Executive Power after the decision of the Supreme Court in Trump v. House, which reduced the scope of judicial mandates nationwide.”
