As expected, a U.S. federal judge overturned the end of Trump's humanitarian parole, which benefited hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Venezuelans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans. Here's what's known and what steps to take for the thousands of Cubans who had been left in limbo and now have a new opportunity in the Americas.
According to several newspapers, such as El PaísIndira Talwani, a judge in the Boston district of Spain, issued a ruling that now allows Cuban migrants and other beneficiaries to maintain legal status for the two years of parole.
Cubans only need one year and one day to access the Cuban Adjustment Act and thus apply for their permanent residence (Green Card) in that country, so that is the main thing now and the main step to follow for these nationals.
Adjusting their legal status to one year and one day, with the extension of legal permission in the United States, represents another judicial blow to Donald Trump's anti-immigration policy during his second term in the White House.
Trump wanted the first group of Latin American immigrants, including Cubans, to self-deport through the CBP Home app by April 24, but they will no longer be required to do so.
The end of parole in the U.S. is revoked by a judge's order: reactions and advice from experts
Talwani, the judge who overturned the end of humanitarian parole in the US, said in this regard that the Trump administration was "making it a priority to focus on people who obeyed the rules, not those who jumped the border." This was a direct reference to the fact that those affected by parole or the end of CBP One had legally entered northern Mexico, either through airports like Miami or Houston, or through border crossings between Mexico and the United States.
"I was terrified of being left without a work permit. We are people who, in order to come, go through all the existing filters, and the government takes away our status as if we were criminals who entered illegally," a Cuban migrant told the Noticias channel. Telemundo 51.
"Thank you to everyone who contributed in one way or another to this measure defeated by President Trump" and "Thank you to God Almighty, who puts the right people at the right time to ensure justice is done," were some of the hundreds of comments from Cubans following the news that a judge revoked the end of humanitarian parole in the U.S.
Parole remains in place, and Cubans who emigrated through this means will be able to resume their normal lives, including a work permit, until they can be permanently regularized through the Adjustment Act.
