Trump Rejects Court Order Blocking Deportation Of 500,000 Immigrants
President Donald Trump’s administration has vowed to challenge a federal court order blocking its plan to deport more than 500,000 immigrants currently protected under a humanitarian parole programme.
The U.S. District Judge, Indira Talwani, had on Monday issued the injunction allowing beneficiaries of the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan (CHNV) parole programme launched under former President Joe Biden’s administration to remain in the U.S. while pursuing immigration benefits.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, criticised the ruling and expressed the administration’s intention to appeal it.
“I spoke to the White House counsel’s office about this this morning because obviously, another rogue district court judge is trying to block the administration’s mass deportation efforts with this latest injunction,” Leavitt said.
“We will fight this in the court of law,” she declared.
The CHNV programme allowed hundreds of thousands from crisis-stricken countries to enter the U.S. legally under humanitarian grounds.
The Trump administration has been seeking to dismantle the programme, arguing that it encourages irregular migration and overburdens the immigration system.
“We will continue to focus on deporting as many individuals as we can,” Leavitt added, stating the administration’s aggressive stance on immigration enforcement.
Despite the administration’s criticism of the judiciary, Leavitt assured reporters that the White House is abiding by legal directives.
“We’re very confident that every action taken by this administration is within the confines of law. And we are complying with all court orders,” Leavitt said.
