Under a program known as CHNV, migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela were allowed to fly to the U.S. after securing a sponsorship from U.S.-based individuals.

The Trump administration can’t immediately revoke the deportation protections and work permits of hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally under a Biden-era program, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with its plan to terminate the legal status of those migrants on April 24. The administration had warned those affected by its announcement that they would need to self deport by that date or face arrest and deportation by federal immigration agents.

But Talwani suspended the deportation warnings the government had sent and prohibited officials from revoking the legal protection, known as immigration parole, that the Biden administration granted to more than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.

    No, that’s noncompliance - and by completely misrepresenting the supreme court’s order, they’re playing chicken

    The judiciary moves slowly. They have powers they’re hesitant to use - they can order Marshalls to act and see who they obey, or they could deputize a bunch of retired special forces to enforce their decisions outside of the executive branch’s control

    It’s not over… Not just yet, anyways. But it’s very, very close - if the judiciary backs down, it’s over. If the administration holds their ground until there’s an armed skirmish, it’s going to get very messy. If both sides keep up this back and forth without forcing a standoff, it could drag on for a while

    But it’s not over yet, it’s just not looking good

      US Marshals are under DoJ. The only thing that the courts can do is request that Marshals take action. I’m sure Bondi would get right on that.

      There’s a hearing today on Abrego Garcia, in the wake of SCOTUS’ unanimous but “maddeningly vague” order to “facilitate” his return, and the administration’s clear failure to do so.

      The judiciary moves slowly.

      It does, and they’re taking every advantage of that to log jam that process even more, and do whatever they want in the meantime. There needs to be rapid and effective action now, and there’s only one more box of liberty to get it from.

        Yes, the Marshalls are. But hey could find Marshalls who take their oath seriously, or they could deputize whoever they like to enforce the court’s ruling

          But [t]hey could find Marshalls who take their oath seriously, …

          That’s wrong. The request from the court doesn’t just go to the US Marshals. It goes to DoJ.

          … or they could deputize whoever they like to enforce the court’s ruling.

          Also wrong. The US Marshals Service can deputize Marshals. The courts cannot.

            This authority is recognized in an obscure provision of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which govern proceedings in federal trial courts. Rule 4.1 specifies how certain types of “process” — the legal term for orders that command someone to appear in court — are to be served on the party to which they are directed. The rule begins in section (a) by instructing that, as a general matter, process “must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.”

            They can do this, there’s a strong legal argument for it that goes far beyond just this… And where we are now that’s enough she could act

            It wouldn’t make that person a marshall, they’d be a deputy. They’re limited in the scope of what they can do, I’m not sure if they could be paid or how, it might break a whole bunch of norms - but it can be done
