Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s Deportations of Immigrants with Parole Status

HeadlineAug 04, 2025

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from quickly deporting immigrants who were granted parole to live and work in the U.S. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, the UndocuBlack Network and CASA challenged the Department of Homeland Security’s policies in court, which enabled ICE officers to arrest immigrants who were offered a temporary status known as humanitarian parole. The Biden administration had allowed Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans a legal pathway to immigrate to the U.S., but in March, the Trump administration had revoked parole for those groups.
